11.5 is fine but there is no reason to set it higher than how we set the machine up which is at 11. On machines with Rotary pumps it just acts as a safety relieve valve, it has no other function. The brew pressure is set by the bypass on the pump. We do set them to 9 bar but 8.5 is also fine.

Is having the OOV open at 11.5 too high? Should I be resetting it > to 11?
