Tried my fist all grain yesturday. I am using the batch sparging technique. I dedcided to brew Edwort's Haus Pale Ale due to the fact that everyone seems to like it on the board and the cheap cost of ingrediants.
I used the batch sparge method. I crafted my own Mash Tun using Flyguy's SS braid method w/ a 10 gallon round cooler. I hit all of my temperatures and my post boil SG was 1.049 instead of 1.051, so I guess my efficenciy was not all that great.
After I chilled my wort down to 70 degrees I siphoned it off into the carboy. In the brew kettle the wort apeared to have a 'normal' amber color. When it got all mixed up going into my carboy it had this blackish color to it.
Now that the wort has had time to settle out if is the normal color again, the black crap has fell out of it.
The wort is ferminting normally as I write this.
Anyone have any idea what the black stuff might be? I have never seen it before when I am brewing extract. Is it just what all grain wort looks like or did I screw something up?
