Brewie B+ Mill's Row II

Perfect brew day for Brewie, except for a really weak boil.  After re-insulating the connections to the boil element, the thermal switch is limiting a full boil.  I am waiting for Brewie to figure out a solution.  In the meantime, I have ordered a Hot Rod Heatstick to supplement the next boil.  I tweaked the parameters of the original Brewie recipe for Mill's Row - a simple pilsner that I can lager for the next 3 months.  The tweaked specs hit the target numbers spot on.
