Yea just seems more clumpy than yeast rafts. Like it's grains or something . I think yeast rafts are more foamy.

Anyone know what these floaters are in my fermenter? Looks like grains kinda but I hope not. Thanks

This would be great for my hops. Thanks inkbird

I was thinking about opening the gap a little bit. Thanks. I will try next brew with a .032" gap. Recipe was supposed to come with rice hulls but for some reason it didnt?

Draining basket now. Doesn't seem stuck, still draining. Did recirculation while draining so it would push grains that fell through while lifting back through grain bed. Almost done . Then adding 170°f water to sparge before boil to get to my 6.5 gallon boil volume. Checked with refractometer...

Milled all 11.5lb of grains .by hand. And 6 5 gallons of strike water was upto 159°f at 35 minutes. From 65°f . Slowly added grains and mixed as I added. Lowered the temp on the anvil to 152°f . Let it sit a couple minutes and stirred it a bit more . Lowered my power to 50% so it wont over heat...
