This is not a technical issue, therefor I post it in the General section.
Yesterday I did my first 50L brew on the Braumeister. The recipe called for about 100 gr of hop pellets in the first addition. When we were waiting for the 15 min beep we noticed that the counter was stuck on 37 minutes for over a few minutes already. The temperature was down to 96°C but the boil was very vigorous.
Then I realized that the temperature probe might be clogged up with hop trub and so I started stirring and in the vicinity of the probe. Almost instantly the temperature showed 99°C.
So... next time I will use a separate timer as a backup. And I really need to consider a hop spider...
