I'm 2 batches in with my new custom built E-HERMS system and this last batch was really smooth. I worked out a ton of issues I had with my first batch and was able to get record high efficiencies. BUT, there was one odd issue...
Let's start with some background info:
I didn't worry much about it, but it seems odd since I'm not disturbing the grain bed at all during the mash.
I figured I could back the mill down a bit or use a BIAB bag for another layer of protection. Anyone have any recommendations?
Let's start with some background info:
- Mashing in a 10 gallon cooler with domed false bottom.
- Grain is conditioned and mill is set to .035
- After dough in, I let my grainbed set for about 5 mins
- Constantly recirculating throughout the entire 60 min mash at about 2-3gpm
- After mash I do raise my temps to 170 and fly sparge for about 45 mins
