I have to bottle my EBS (Extra Bitter Special), an ESB. I also need to test Christmas Beer and see if it's time to take the cocoa nibs out.

Ambitious again today, this was the second boil. Brewshed is a disaster but I'm pooped so it's beer'o'clock, cleaning can wait!

Whoa! Looking a little close to the rim there Steve! My crystal ball says boil overs are in your future! Is that at the break or just before?

Just before. I stay very close to it when I have that much in the kettle but I agree; there will be sticky messes to clean up at some stage!

 

[Hawkbox]

Just need a brewing buddy to distract you at the right time.

 

[Herm brews]

Sticky messes will not be tolerated, we have lift off well below the rim on yesterday’s brew.

Vigorous Grainfather boil lol!

It is a lot less vigorous than a kettle, but it does the job just fine. Just out of curiosity, what temp are you setting to for the boil?

At my elevation 202 is boil point. During my first brew I had to scramble to find the setting to adjust my boil to reflect that temperature. With the stock setting at 212, that point could never be reached for me and when the software is trying to reach a target set point to begin the boil timer and all your boil additions...well, you're kinda hosed!

 

[BOB357]

Boiling here is 205 and I set the temp to 214 to maintain a slow rolling boil. It seemed strange the first few times to only boil off about 3 qts. I was used to more than twice that with my propane setup.

Right before and right after

About to do the 10 minute addition.
