Hey everyone
I did my first brew on the weekend using a Brewzilla 35L. Everything was going great until the time came for me to put the wort into the Fermenter. About two litres into the exchange, the tap got clogged. I tried to move around the false floor with a large spoon but nothing would come out. In the end, i called the brew store who said i had to stick my arm in and unclog the tap (after cleaning my arm obviously). It worked but wow, a lot of mushy hops ended up in the fermenter. I'm not expecting the beer to taste any good now as it took a while to sort out.
I used just over 60 grams of hops all up and didn't have a hop spider, if i had a hop spider, would this have fixed the issue?
I thought the false floor which sits above the tap would stop all the sludge going into the tap???
Thanks for any advice, i want to do another brew by this weekend.
Cheers and beers.
