During my first all grain brew, I noticed that the first/second runnings never really ran clear, meaning, I could still see little grain particles coming through, but never noticed any big bits of grain. My main question is, what is the nominal amount of slits or holes in a CPVC or Copper mash tun pickup?
Second, if I did suck some grain into my wort, which would lead to extracting tanins, can someone describe the taste?
Example of mash tun pickup: ( Picasa Web Albums - Jonathan - Homebrew )
Since then I have replace the slits for 1/32 holes.
