I heat the strike water in my kettle. Then I pour the water into the mashtun. Then I heat up sparge water in my kettle. Because I am using the same Kettle to heat the sparge water I have nothing else to collect the wort in so i use a 5 gal cooler. Then when I am done using the sparge water i...

Thanks guys. I keg. It could only be from when I pour the Wort from a cooler to a kettle. I also dont use a sparge arm or anything. Do you think that would cause the oxidation? Thanks alot for the help.

Thanks for the info. I just need to figure out how this is happening! Arg.
