Hey All,
I've started to get burning issues with my brew day on the concealed element of my crown urn. From some searching around it seems it is most likely to do with the high watt element that comes with a crown urn and the lower mashing temperatures.
Many have reported they get burning issues if they do a protein rest, yesterday however I got burning issues with my steps starting at 60c.
My brew day yesterday which resulted in a burnt element (concealed case):
60c Mash In
63c for 50 mins
72c for 20 mins
78c for 10 mins - Mash Out
90 min boil
NOTE: This is recirculating BIAB with a Braudino Controller, Bottom and top Return.
In the past I have brewed may times with a simple 63c for 75 min and 78 for 10 mins without burning issues. The 3 degrees from 60 to 63 while I mash in couldn't be the issue could it?
So what I am wondering is has anyone ever been able to upgrade the urns element to something with more low watt density. Ideally I would like to replace the element within the concealed area however I guess as a last resort I could drill another hole and put in a new element ignoring the current one but I was hoping for a better solution.
Thanks
