I didn't know one could set up the hop addition reminder beeps, how is it done?Crusty said:... set about programming the unit...
I set it for a 40deg mash in, 52deg rest for 5mins, 63deg for 35mins, 73deg for 35mins & 78deg for 10mins. Boil for 90mins & added some hop additions in there as well... The beeping sound is a nice feature telling you when to add your hops.

On my unit, you just enter your hop additions at the required times & the BM beeps when the time has been reached telling you on the display screen to add hops.DeGarre said:I didn't know one could set up the hop addition reminder beeps, how is it done?
It is a function that comes in the newer units. Not on the old ones.DeGarre said:I didn't know one could set up the hop addition reminder beeps, how is it done?
Too bad that it doesn't beep when it starts the boil. This way you have to set the first hop addition at a minute less than the boil (e.g. boil time = 75min / first hop addition = 74min).Rurik said:It is a function that comes in the newer units. Not on the old ones.
Can't you just do a 90min boil & set your first addition @60?niels said:Too bad that it doesn't beep when it starts the boil. This way you have to set the first hop addition at a minute less than the boil (e.g. boil time = 75min / first hop addition = 74min).
Or am I missing something obvious?

I spoke to the boys at Grain & Grape who informed me that they had spoken to Ralph from Speidel & the odd bit of grain getting to the boil was nothing to be concerned about. You seem to be getting far more than anyone else from what you have been saying.paulmclaren11 said:I have never (only after 3 brews..) had a stuck pump or anything, just noticing a lot of husks and grain particles getting through the top screen. I am more worried about boiling these suckers and getting harshness.
I could be half cut, but it seems my centre rod could be on the piss causing my screens to be off centre. Either way, I am going some swiss voile next time, the good wife has said she will make me something up that fits snug against the malt pipe,
Anyways, brew number 3 done on the BM and cubed. :beerbang:

I have never lost much through the pipe but sometimes stuff up stirring the mash. I just run a kitchen sieve in a whirlpool after mashout and get anything that was lost.
