Brewie B+ Brevienna

Another perfect brew day for Brewie, and I fixed the weak boil issue.  I by-passed the thermal switch in the boil tank and now I get 100% power.  Brewie sent me new thermal switches, heating elements and wires to install at a later date.  I tweaked the parameters of the original Brewie recipe for this beer a bit:
