2 weeks ago I made my first attempt at a Belgian strong. I had my first ever stuck sparge as one of the fittings on my manifold came loose and it filled with grain. I transferred everything out of the mash tun, cleaned it out and put the grain back in. I let it sit for an extra 20 minutes to settle then sparged as usual. I got it down to 72f in 23 minutes. All seemed well, gravity was .002 low but I figured this was a result of all my bungling around. My sample settled out and the color was spot on. I transferred to secondary 3 days ago and it looks like runny, muddy baby ****. It is not settling out or clearing up. Should I try gelatin? It just seems too cloudy for that to help enough. What could have caused this?
