I'm no atheist scientist, but...
Did a double decoction on 100% munich malt (best malz) yesterday. Overall it went pretty well, although it was a bit of work obviously. I have a few questions though.
1. Runoff was really restricted. I never have a problem with barley mashes - Is this from the decoction? Do you use rice hulls?
2. After cooling the wort (recirc thru plate chiller) it developed a really thick meringue-like head in the boil kettle. See attached pic. I've never seen this before. Any thoughts?
Thanks!
