Equipment profile/mash settings for Blichmann Breweasy

Hello,

Can anyone assist with settings to use for a two pot recirculating mash system? I put together a "clone" of a Blichmann Breweasy using spare equipment. I have noticed that my preboil gravity readings have been low on the two kettle system vs. single vessel BiAB.

Thanks!

I have a Blichmann two pot system but not a Breweasy and my pre boil gravity is always a few points low. However the original gravity is always fine. I thought maybe it might be because my refractometer isn't temperature compensating and the wort is hot. When I do an OG I cool it first.

Greetings, just joined the forum looking for other posts on this same question.

I have a "10 gallon" BrewEasy, which is the 15-gallon BoilerMaker mash tun mounted above a 20-gallon BoilerMaker kettle.  The settings are still a work in progress, but here's what I have after 3 batches.  The last batch I did was a huge barleywine recipe which wound up 10+ gravity points short, based on a brewhouse efficiency setting of 70.  Also it seems to me that a huge beer might lose more efficiency % in what is basically a BIAB system, because of the density of the wort left behind in the grains.  But since I haven't done BIAB before, I don't really know if that's the case or not.  So I lowered the brewhouse efficiency to 68% and will see how that does with the next batch.

Brewhouse efficiency of 65% seems more like it.

I am thinking of getting the BrewEasy.....I have a 3 vessel system right now but used to brew with BIAB.  My efficiency was always around 65-68% so that is what I would expect on this as well.  Not sure the K-Rims would improve that in any way.
