Mar 2, 2012 - Which PID model is that? Where did you buy it. I would love to have one with the dual display but am not sure which model you're using.

Feb 23, 2012 - Well done Chris. How difficult is it to clean after you mash?

BeerGeekNation Says:

Feb 23, 2012 - thanks man! Cheers

BeerGeekNation Says:

Feb 23, 2012 - haha yeah right

BeerGeekNation Says:

Feb 23, 2012 - As it stands I really like the system. SO far Ive hit all my mash temps perfectly. Now I just need to brew more to get into a rhythm with it. Maybe while im brewing ill make a MLV

BeerGeekNation Says:

Feb 23, 2012 - Nope I added it to the setup. My current system didnt have any Mash regulation which I wanted. SO i added this in

BeerGeekNation Says:

Feb 23, 2012 - Its still there. I use it for my boils and heating my sparge/mash water. Its hanging up on the wall behind the stand

BeerGeekNation Says:

Feb 23, 2012 - ill be posting it on the BGN facebook page. Its well worth the trouble setting it up. Works perfectly

BeerGeekNation Says:

Feb 23, 2012 - Thanks man. Cheers

BeerGeekNation Says:

Feb 23, 2012 - Yep I can do that. Ill do it in a few days once I get it all together

BeerGeekNation Says:

Feb 23, 2012 - It recirculates the mash/sparge. basically from the time you put the grain an water together its recirculating it. SO after the 60 mins you pull off to the kettle and then add your sparge water and recirculate for 15 mins and batch off. I may try a decoction but not 100% commited to it yet haha

BeerGeekNation Says:

Feb 23, 2012 - Thanks man CHeers!
