I tried my hand at all-grain over the weekend which was overall an excellent experience.
I did have one hiccup that I would love some feedback on.
I use a 48 quart cooler with ss toilet braid as my mlt. almost immediately while collecting the runnings of my batch sparge, it got stuck. I wasn't sure what to do so I stuck my plastic spoon in the cooler to mix it up, and ended up tearing the toilet braid - which unclogged the outflow, but made for an extremely difficult experience trying to filter.
I think I got the job done, but had a lot of grain in my boil.
Are there any problems with boiling some grain? I would imagine that it was
about 0.5lbs of grain overall.
I read another post recommending inserting a ss spring into the toilet braid to help with filtering, so I think I will try to do that on my next attempt. Thanks all!
