    Slow Boil Start With Crown Urn Concelead Element.

    Had the same problem....coating of wort burned onto the element. Got an electrician to disconnect the boil-dry protector and have not had a problem since. I did contact Crown about this but got their standard disclaimer and pointed out that the urn was designed for boiling only water.

    Recirculation Causing A Near Doubling Of Efficiency?

    I have inputted your recipe into Brewmate...... if you are using Brewmate to generate your recipe why are you not also following the brewday procedure ? To get a batch size of 20 litres why are you sparging to get 40 ish litres of wort ? Unless you are boiling off at the rate of 50% per hour...

I have read quite a few kegging topics and find something of interest in all of them,however, all talk in terms of "Kpa" and not PSI - why is this ?
