Success!
Posted 06-09-2008 at 02:05 AM by ohiobrewtus
Yesterday's 22 gallon brew day wasn't without its challanges, but all ended well and some pics are posted here.
My friend Lowell brought all his stuff up so we could do the batches side by side and all was going great until we tried to drain his MLT. It had only been used once before, but apparently when we used it, one of us beat the hell out of the ss braid with the mash paddle to the point that it actually split the ss braid and the tubing inside. Of course this allowed for grain to get in the tubing completely stopping all flow.
Luckily I had stepped the mashes and my mlt was done and cleaned so we scooped everything out of his MLT in to mine, then drained and proceeded.
The good news is that we his 1.062 on the EF (target 1.060) and 1.072 on the IPA (target 1.072). The bad news is that my golf game blows goats.
