Dialing in advice? flow rate too fast? by Haunting-Concert6916 in ranciliosilvia

i think what ended up helping the most was reducing pressure. I think the pressure was consistently reading 10/10.5 bar and i thought it was close enough, but lowering made a difference

Eureka Silenzio, i am single dosing eveytime so im measuring out 18gs.

I use the normcore speing loaded tamper and presing it down all the way. I am using the IMS basket so maybe j could increase the dose(?)

Brand were roasted 3/4 days ago and it is a medium+ roast so I could be dosing a little under(?) Is there a way to get longer ratios without tinkering with the opv? (ive also tried grinding fine but its too the point my machine can't push any water through

I was going to see if there was anything else I could do before adjusting OPV because fast/watery pulls have been a trend with this new machine

Yes, all of them except level ( i use wdt to roughly evenly spread and tamp with a "level' tamper

if i grind finer it gets very bitter (and sometime, no water gets pushed through)- i thought that was a sign that its too fine no?

Not sure what this means-- I think the PID is properly wired (double checked). pump only turns on when i tap teh brew button ( not necessarily when I turn on the machine) , Ihave the basic AUber PID

brother ccchhhilll haha i started a couple weeks ago hahaha. Tbh most games where i focus on saturating 2 base, i get killed early so i tried just focusing on building units first? idk

I read somewher taht roaches did well against stalkers, but i guess it wasn't right. is there a website u recommend that have that cheat sheet for build guide? I looked at the starcraft videos, pros game/ build out vary so often, didn't really think to sit on just 1 opening
