Greetings all. 8 days ago I brewed a Murphy's Stout with about 16 pounds of Two Row and everything went well. Yesterday I brewed a Golden Promise SMASH with 20 pounds of GP and almost instantly got a stuck mash. Grind was set at .032" on both brews.
My setup consists of going from BIAB in a single 18.5 gallon kettle to a two vessel setup with a 30 gallon mash tun. The mash tun is a Blichmann with false bottom and I didn't think I had to worry about a stuck mash. Is this something specific to the Golden Promise or just an unlucky day? I recirculate during the entire mash.
We ended up dumping the mash into my old brew bag and it sat in the bottom of the mash tun just fine. I ended up hitting my pre boil gravity exactly and my post boil gravity was .002 high.
