      After about a year and a half something strange has begun with my Inkbird ITC-308. It seems that as the set temperature is lowered the probe reading drifts further from the actual temperature. I have a digital thermometer that I calibrated in both ice water and boiling, accounting for elevation and barometric pressure, and it comfirmed the issue over multiple days. I get that the 308 isn't too expensive and easily replaceable but I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this? Also,...

      I used to have heaps of trouble with boils. 2 ring burner, no good... 3 ring burner, no good... bigger regulator, no good...
      
      would take ages to get to boiling, then would boil then die down, build back up etc... never a vigourous boil
      
      what I have done is 3 ring burner with 2kg/hr regulator and I place bricks around the pot three high in alternating pattern. Traps all the heat in there! Boil 35L from mash temp in 30 minutes and hold vigourous boil constantly!
      
      Its a bit primative but I figure...

   5. 5 star water treatment

      Any one tried this product, dus it actually work

      It will work in full-volume brewing (pure BIAB) in some waters but not others.
      
      Your first step is to buy a pH roll (see bottom of this page) and see what pH your mashes are currently at.
      
      If too high, then use acidulated malt or something like phosphoric acid to get your pH right. Get the pH strips first though and do the measurements. Water adjustments are something you should usually creep into slowly.

      Two old chairs plus some 2 by 4 routed out holes for gas ring legs
      The first test for my 5.5 kW gas ring and 70 litre kettle
      I left the bottom open so the gas ring would not catch the food on fire

       I I've been hunting round for a first biab brew recipe
       I would love to do a strong Ris, but for my first I was thinking of this
       
       As it will be ready for my belly sooner :thumbs:
       What's your options on this recipe for biab
       I like STRONG beer so would hate to lose any adv, should I brew as is or add extra grain etc
       Any advice would be great

       In the BIABacus, just reduce your Desired Volume into Fermentor to 25 L. Than buy the ingredients on the right-hand side of Sections C and D and start with the amount of water at the top of Section K.
       
       Make sense?
