One thing I notice is that my brew pressure gauge climbs at idle to

good idea that I'm set to roughly 10 bar on the OPV. However, I am
wondering whether this is normal for the system to be sitting at that
high of a pressure when idle? I
The brew boiler is completely full so if you add cold water and wait
for it to heat up it will expand and create pressure. Indicated
pressure with the brew lever up is meaningless and common.
Even apart from that issue, the gauge will always show at least the
incoming water pressure. 10 bar is rather high for that, unless you
have really high mains pressure. There are pressure reducing gizmos
that you can put inline to reduce it.
