OK, anticipating a life-altering Godshot this morning, I ground/dosed/loaded and pulled the shot. Whoa!!! Very sour. Was I really dulling my beans that much with dirtiness? Pulled another. Even more sour.
Then it dawned on me--I tipped the machine all directions for soaking, but not for flushing, so there's still a lot of citric in there. So this morning I'm draining and refilling the boilers and sloshing the water around to try to reach the remaining citric to rinse it out. John, as a side effect of doing this, I discovered that when I tip the machine over a ways (power on), the water level sensor is higher than water line and the pump will add some more water to the steam boiler. This wouldn't fill it all the way like you are doing, but it would get the acid solution above the normal water/scale line. Might have to do that next time. John, you said you open the steam wand until solution runs out. Is there any implication for the no-burn liner when you run an acid solution through it? Incidentally, I weighed and measured Barry's 4 tablespoons per reservoir, and it is 60g in 3 liters, so that's the same 20g/l you mentioned John. I had no idea the reservoir held 3 liters! Still anticipating that great shot... bmc "Faith will move mountains, but you'd better bring a shovel....." --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Brewtus" group.
