Yesterday I did a 2.5 hour boil with a high gravity wort (1.080 OG), and for the last hour of the boil the thermostat kept cutting in and out. That was with the temperature dial set to 110C. It would be on for about 20 seconds, then would turn off for about 10 - 15 seconds. The boil was more of a simmer than the usual vigorous rolling boil that I'm used to.
The urn is around 3 years old and has been going strong for 100+ brews beforehand, though I dont usually boil for this long nor make beers this big.
Im going to soak & scrub the element with PBW in case it's covered in crud that is letting it get too hot, but I am wondering if anyone else had this issue?
Cheers
