Ben - I lowered my brew pressure from 12 to about 10 bar, which I believe is really 9 bar because of errors on the brew pressure gauge. Pulled two shots with tight grinds and....no more fluctuating brew pressure. Thanks! Will try moving Brewtus to another outlet later this afternoon to see if I can solve the flickering lights issue. However, thanks a bunch for your help with this.
