Holy F-in' protien batman

I have some serious stands of gooey nastiness swirilling in my wort right now. If it is protien I'm going to have the mother of all cold breaks

Do you have a picture??

I'm assuming this is in the boil?

One way is to crush your own barley.The stuff I got from the shop was not nearly as good as my new crusher.

9 counting this one.

Hmmm... well I can understand why you might be distressed about it..... have you explained your process on another thread? Might help if we know exactly what you are doing. Keep in mind, your doing a batch and they are typically less efficient. I have only done two and have managed to screw up figuring out the efficiency. The first batched had a lot of problems (tubbing came undone). Second went perfect But I forgot to that a gravity of the second pot I used. I'm kinda excited about it actually.... it started at 1.032, was put in the secondary at 1.010 and bottled at a flat 1.000. Its a stout and kinda taste like a Guinness. Though its a bit green still... might try one today. Did you check out that site....? Another place of interest would be the thread I did the stout on... took a lot of pictures....

Actually I do a fly sparge. I'm sure the beer will be fine I just thought I would have a better % than that.
I had some really active yeast the guy at my LHBS said he had just got it in Fri. after 3 hrs I put a blow off tube on it cause it was an 1" from hitting the air lock.
