Thanx for your help I just didn't put all the pieces together now I know

Ok I understand what's going on I did second runnings no mash out and added a like 2 lbs of grain for the second mash but my temp dropped a lil around 147 I'm assuming the low temp is why this happend I have just seen that before and that's why I've never seen it cause usually my temps r rite...

Sry it took a second nothing different then the normal just this time ended up with a crazy grey slime on top, it was a second runnings I added some grain to it but nothing different then a normal mash

So I'm sparking my mash and when I'm all done I find this on my grain bed any thoughts? Pretty much all pale malt

So I got some results F.G on the big rite now is 1.030 I would like to get it down a lil more! Its slowly bubbling still like once every 2 minutes mayb and I've hung onto my lil guy incase I needed to restart my big guy! It's F.G is 1.018 which is showing no activity so should I keg that...

Cool ya it'll b awhile but ill def keep it in the back of my head

Just some updates nothing crazy but I've kinda tried to work it into my brewing slowly also mainly I just want to use It'd b awesome This too lol

That's awesome it sounds awesome I'd totally b down to trade some bombers ill either keg half of it or just bottle all bombers! I can send a bottle of the second runnings as well if us like we're u located at? I'm in Iowa

So ya It was a awesome brew day busting out some toys mainly just a pump but I had like 15' of left over copper so I used that as a make shift herms coil in my boil kettle. I olso used my homemade garden hose chiller which worked awesome came out at like 65 degrees from boil so that made me...

31,093 + 6 gallons imperial stout + 6 gallons second runnings from imperial stout 31,105

So far so good single pump wanted to use my panel just recirculating about 3 mins into mash :)

Gonna just wing this one and take good notes I think it will b a good learning lesson was thinking to try and get second runnings off it also

I got some homegrown centenial I could toss in ugh I've learned lesson of not jumping into things lol

So I'm understanding that this is more up the alley of of a imperial stout and I'm just gonna adjust my hop additions for that style any suggestions
