Did my fist brew on an electric system I put together over the past few months. Everything went well. I did notice mash circulation flow diminished quickly over the two-step 90 minute process. I did have valves to the chugger recirc pump wide open. Maybe by doing this I compacted the grain bed too quickly? When I cleaned the MT out my 16" diameter three-legged false bottom had one ear bent over at least 1-1/2"!
While I know what caused it, I am curious what others do to manage the pressure that can build as resistance to flow through the mash increases?
