The last batch of brew I did with my barely crusher ended up with a medicine after taste that I have read may be from having too fine of a crush. I bought my barely crusher used and don't have the actual directions as to the best way to set the gap for a good crush. Thus, I am hesitant to use the crusher (and brew more beer) w/o having someone else's opinion.
1. Does this crush look too fine?
2. If so, can anyone recommend a proper gap setting I should move to?
3. If the crush is not too fine then can anyone suggest what else might have resulted in this medicine after taste?
I have read that "over sparging" might result in this but I don't know if this means my sparge water may have been too hot or that I used too large of a volume of sparge water. I do use BeerSmith for my calculations and have an average efficiency of around 75%.
