Hoping for the best.

Got my mash going right now, at 35 minutes 152.5F. I'm afraid northernbrewer didn't crush my maris otter enough. The grain looked a little too whole when I saw it in the bag, but there was alot of debri at the bottom of the bag, so I figured it was fine. Started my mash, and man, it looks pretttty thin for 1.25qt/lb. I scooped up some grain with my spoon and a large amount was lookin whole.
Well, hoping for the best, worst case I have to add some light DME (god I hope not).

Northern has been having a bit of a problem with their crush lately. I had to have some reshipped because of this.

Sucks man, takes exactly 8 days from when I order for my shipment to get here. I don't have the self-control to wait that long if something doesn't look right. I just wing it and hope for the best.

Great, and now it just started raining. Sometimes it seems like the brew gods are out to get me.

Austin Homebrew seems to have pretty consistent, and good, crushes from my limited experience. This is only temporary though as I plan on adding a grain mill to my arsenal in a couple months.

Yea, grain mill is the next step for me too. I've had huge success with northernbrewer. I was raving about them in another thread today. Then I got this in the mail this afternoon. My first runnings were 1.068 at 70F, now I'm batch sparging and we'll see where it goes from here.
