Hi everyone
Put together a new orange cooler mash tun this weekend and tried all grain for the first time. Added water and malts a bit at a time until I got all eleven pounds in with a slurry to stiff texture. added a little more water to keep the temp in the proper range. When we attempted to sparge almost nothing drained out. ended up scooping and pressing in hops bags to get at the wort. No clog was present in the line and or ball valve.
was it too thick and the water was stuck in in the malt?
Things went uneventful from there with boil and the hops.
thanks
