While I am sure this site has quite a few begginers asking the question of "did i screw up my first batch?", and I have read all of those threads, but did not see the answer to my question. i am mashing not using extract. And making and belg-amero triple hop. Trying to clone the Ursel Hop-It ale. Anyway, I heated water to 169, added grain, let mash for 47 min, then heated twice 18 quarts at 168 and began sprinkling this water to my mashing cooler, while opening the spicket, low flow to dump into my kettle. First off the grain did not seem to "roll" or rise to the top, and a massive clog at the spicket prevented the mixture to drain into my kettle. As time was ticking by, i began taking scoops out of mashing bucket, passing through a screen directly into the kettle, the rest of the operation continued as normal, but it has been over 24 hours with no bubbles? What might have happened, and will the beer still do its thing?
Thanks for all your help,
