Experienced extract brewer tempted fate last night and went all grain. Think I managed to salvage something but after a bitter battle with a stuck/semi stuck mash.
Recipe:
Grain bill:
10lbs. Muntons 2row Pale
1lb. Muntons 49-60L Crystal
1lb. Flaked Maize
Mash:
Dough in to 4 gal. room temp H20, raise temp to 159
dump into water cooler/mash tun
mash 90 min.
This is where it all went bad. Could never get the mash to run off. dribbled, dripped stopped ad absurdem. Got down and dirty with a kitchen strainer and tried to salvage something. Managed to collect about 3 gal. clear(ish) runnings. Proceeded withboil.
If the Dr. Gregory House of Homebrewing is out there, try to diagnose any of my numerous screw ups that you choose. Would appreciate it. Will it ferment?be beer?taste like crap?
