I can't figure out what went wrong with my first all Grain batch.
Most people talk about the occasional stuck sparge. I couldn't even get the vorlauf right.
The second I cracked open the valve to vorlauf... Nothing. I tried blowing back into the tube Opening and closing the valve No matter what I did it remained stuck. Blowing a little into the tube would allow it to flow for maybe 5 seconds then it would stick again I continued this for about an hour until I have up
The problem is when I dough in I'm apparently stirring grain underneath the false bottom.
Northern brew says to try a "mini" vorlauf as I'm doughing in. Wich I can't rap my head around doesn't seem to make sense to me
I check the bottom and it sits perfectly flat on the bottom of the cooler
Why am I stirring grain under the bottom? I stir softly
Thanks. Sorry so long
