Leftover meringue in the boil kettle?

[ggltd]

Okay this was my first all grain on the new Brutus I built. Also the ingredients / cracked grain from a new supplier. At the end of the whirlpool / chill down after I had pumped the brew into the fermentor there was this thick, whip cream consistency stuff left. And a lot of it. In all my years of brewing I have never seen this. Any thoughts please?

Thanks,
Gary

first time using a whirlpool pump? If your pump return is causing a turbulent whirlpool it can whip up a froth of foam.

Yes this was the first time using a whirlpool / pump set up. I used to just gravity drain through a reverse chiller straight into the fermenter. I must say this stuff was really stiff like Cool Whip- you could almost stand a spoon up in it.
