Oh, I havent used the boiler wrap yet. I've PID'd both boilers and am in the process of re-routing the brew water path (Deleting the HX steam boiler) I'm going to use copper tubing and wrap the brew boiler a few times to get the water up to temp before entry. Like the slayer machine does. I'm doing this because when I push the steam boiler to 2.5 bar then I get flash boiling in the brew boiler path.
It's taking me longer because I have to move across the country for work and I still have a Siliva I use every day.
