So I just finished the 2nd brew with a pair of heatsticks I built. They are 1500w elements from lowes and I was brewing a light rye ale.
After removing the elements I noticed they had black all over them. Like they were burnt. It doesn't smell and doesn't appear to have come off in the beer in any way. When I cleaned them it started to flake off. After leaving them hanging up for an hour all the black started cracking and peeling and flaking off.
Any idea what it is or what is causing it and if I should be worried about it?
Thanks all!
