Hey all,
Have a Crown 40 L concealed element urn. After half a dozen Biabs, no problems with boil etc. Yesterday it did the dry boil cut off thingo which I have read about on here. I scraped the element with my ss spoon and managed to get it going again. Ideally i don't want to be watching it boil for an hour, being on standby with a spoon!
I thought about maybe applying a light layer of silicone spray ( with finger, not spraying in there) on plate to possibly discourage the wort from sticking to it........silicone spray is inflammable....... One would think the chances of anything happening after being diluted with 35L of liquid would be very low? And also concerned about it possibly affecting head formation/retention, again dilution rates high??
Appreciate any thoughts
Cheers
