Hey all,
Just finished my very first brew. All went reasonably well, however, my OG seemed low. While cleaning out the pot etc, I was surprised to see a rather large amount of sediment at the bottom of the pot. Is this normal? The main issue I had during brew was the fact that I decided to do a full boil, which now seems to be a mistake given my electric stove burner (took some time to reach boil). I wonder if the two correlate. I estimate a 1/4" to 1/2" of sediment sitting on the bottom of the pot. I stirred frequently ...
Appreciate any thoughts ... Hoping for the best!
