Was making a kit brew the other night (LD Carlson / Brewer's Best German Altbier Style); and I steeped the grain in 2 gal of water. Added that water and 2 more gal to the 30 qt. pot on the outside burner. Temp probably 140 when I added a can of light ME, and a can of amber and some more water. Stirred them up well or so I thought...
Went on about the boil. After cooling when I racked it out (5.5 gal total boil, boiled down to 5), I find an irregular burnt / scorched spot in the bottom of the pot It's about 4 x 5" (like a couple fried eggs )
It don't look like the flame pattern, methinks that some ME pooled up or something.
Anyhow, I went ahead and primaried the stuff. Should I dump it?
