There is a video on youtube from whole latte love that shows how to program the pid. I think first step is follow the instruction in that video.
The p, i and d settings control how the algorithm converges on correct temperature. They might be wrong, but might not. The more likely problem is the offset control. This controls the 'zero' for the pid target. For the brewtus its supposed to be set at 18. If its set at zero the pid will overshoot. All is covered in the video: https://youtu.be/j3MpFEtrToc?si=R8hd3p1ekkXFgVOv This is the first thing I'd try since its just adjusting your new pid. If that doesn't work then... - draw some water and measure its temp, is it actually really hot like 220? - I remember my brewtus 2 originally came with an ako controller. I bought a 'pid upgrade kit' when the ako died. It came with a solid state relay and I think a new temperature probe. Did you just upgrade from ako and didn't get the rest of the kit?
