Looks good! Looks neat. I don't notice anything wrong - but as always, I would recommend getting an electrician to check these things.
oh - and GF edition - I'm unsure about that one...
Ferg - I didn't do any decoctions, though from memory some people talk about removing part of the wort (post sparge) and boiling it down to a thicker consistency to add flavour. I didn't try that, but might in the future.
The only information I have on beersmith is a step at 64 for 75mins and...
yeah, that is what I was guessing, or that the current isn't immediately clamped, and so trips the first one, which clamps/goes off, but not before the differential travels past and trips the second
Yeah, no harm, but curious why it triggers both. I was hoping that the powerboard one would stop the current fast enough that the main switch would continue operating.
I bought a couple of power boards with RCDs on them. They definitely work. I was hoping that the power board RCD would mean the main board wouldn't switch, but the main board had triggered as well each time so far.
Yeah, I've always mashed in lower and let it rise. I've never tried a single infusion or with mash in that high. I'm sure single infusion will be fine. Does such a high mash in cause any clumping etc?
You can skip steps in the set up, so just do the length of time you want and skip the rest.
It is normal to control the tps starting low and going high though. Did you want to start high and let the temp drop?
Nice work, if it is spending 10mins 0.5degrees below temp it will affect yourash temps. I would drop the D setting and up your I setting until you get it overshooting by 0.5 degree without too much delay, then knock it back slightly.
I'm of the opinion that a minor overshoot quickly achieved...
Oooh... That looks good! I'm visiting some friends at the moment. I'll check when I get back. It was stepped, but from memory largely a low mash temp to get high ferment ability.
I don't adjust mine when I do larger batches and it seems to work well. It could be that I'm not noticing the issues as I expect the mashing process to take longer and often am not watching it. Once it is going OK, I'll do other things...
Glad you like it :)
I would adjust the PID settings. More aggressive sounds in order. It shouldn't take that long to hit temp. What settings are you using?
OK :)
I would suggest doing one step at a time and pause the video after each step.
If there is a spot that is confusing /unclear let me know and I'll explain
Did you look at the video on YouTube?
If the zip file is the issue - download the zip and in file explorer in windows right click and hit uncompress / unzip.
If on a Mac.... Not sure :)
