I brewed a bitter today and ended up with a ton of grain sediment in my kettle. my question is 2 fold.
how did this happen?
the recipe was 10 LBS 2row and about .5 LBS crystal.
mashed at 149 degrees, recirculated the first to gallons.
i allowed adequate time for the filter bed to settle.
oh and i use the standard 10 gal. braid MLT.
im stumped on this one?
it mainly looked like the more starchy part of the grain that got through, not the husks. doas that part have tannins in it that would have been leached out by the boil?
also.
what would be the best clarifier for dropping everything out? i dont need crystal clear, just not gritty
much thanks to anyone who can help.
