First Rum Attempting to BUTTER as well

[Hoosier Shine9]

I started this process in ShineOn's Butter Rum thread but thought as I progressed I would break away from there then post final results back at his topic.

I transferred wash to boiler this morning.
Turned the power on at 7:45. Full power 4500w
the wash started at 70F.
I Recorded the temp 15 minutes later, Then every 5 minutes. So time & temp looks like this

7:45---70F
8:00---108.5F 18amps
8:05---122.5F
8:10---135.2F Turned down the controller
8:20---139F
8:25---144F


I am trying to get the temp to hold just having to play with controller....
more to follow.........

9:00---140Fhave been turning down controller even more.....2amps
9:20---still 140F....have turned controller off completely will continue to monitor temps
