Ignore the helicopter leaves please :cross:
So I apologize about the picture quality. It was hard to get close enough to see the muddy substance and keep it in focus. I did the best I could without a decent camera.
So those are pictures of what we saw when we opened the Mash-tun after sparging this past brew day. I have never seen it before and I can't seem to find anything online that is really conclusive. It was only on the top layer of the grain bed and was the consistency of mud or caulk. There was about half an inch of it.
Grain Bill:
10.5 lbs US 2-Row
.25 lbs Cara Malt 20L
.25 lbs Crystal 40
.25 lbs Victory
.25 lbs Munich
Can anyone tell me what this might be? Is it anything I should worry about? Is it something I can prevent? If so, what caused it?
The wort looked fine and this morning it was bubbling happily so fermentation wasn't affected. I am at a loss and I need your help!
Thank you everyone.
