OVBSC Separate SO (Strike Output) Variable Into Two Variables
Opened this issue · 1 comments
It would be nice to have the SO (Strike output) parameter separated into two variables. One variable for heating the water to the strike and hot break temperature and the other variable for heating water between mash steps. I have 4000 watts of heating on my 5 gallon system and I find that when heating between mash steps with SO set to 100 percent, it quickly reaches the next mash step before the grain temperature has equalized, so the temperature falls substantially when the system switches to the thermostat mode. Two variables would allow quick heating for strike and hot break and controlled stable heating for the mash steps.
I do agree that SO is used for two different things and I see how it can be non-ideal in your case.
It was originally done like this, because I wanted it to be less complex and not have a bazillion parameters. I think that line is crossed anyway now, so I might as well look into fixing this.
Got a lot of other things going on atm, so I'll do it whenever I get around to it...
