It could just be yeast rafts. I'd post a pic. Lots of newer homebrewers mistake yeast rafts for an infection. I'll post a pic of my infected pale ale if you want, lol.

+1, tbh this is the first I've heard of this problem. I wouldn't imagine a company that produces a product that ruins your beer would last very long. Though I could be wrong, but I'm probably not.

This is a great addition to the forums. I'm down for beer swapping, I live in clairemont. I'll have out my Tall Dark and Hoppy black IPA soon. Picking up some ingredients for my next batch today @ homebrew mart in linda vista which will be a pale ale. Down the line a big brewday sounds like a...

Wii has become my netflix console.

Come at me bro. I was drunk when I asked this question. Yeah you'll have to warm it up a bit.

That is under review I believe. From what I read, squeezing your grain is a myth. That being said, I don't do it. I just got a new mash tun, and wroth it came a definite increase on efficiency. I think 63% is okay for your first batch. I was getting terrible effiency when I first started AG. If...

Yeah my bad, 18g mash tun should be 10g batches. Edit: I'm dumb also my maths is wrong, I'm a complete idiot.

Grain volume + (water volume - 4% <for grain absorption>). Just measure the volume of 1lb of grain and 1g of water. Or look it up on the interwebs.

Try taking it off and rinsing it out with hot water. Or by a giant tube to put on there lol. That is all I can suggest. If rinsing doesn't work, I guess just keep an eye on it, pull the tube off every now and again so it doesn't build up pressure and blow. Make sure there isn't any kinks in it...
