Ok, tanks! My mashing is fine, between 5 and 6, but I read somewhere that the extra water added in the end (lauter/sparging) may unbalance the whole thing. I just measured it now, it is 4-4,5 on day one of fermentation.
Perhaps my skunky flavor comes from high temp. I ferment in a closed isolated box with temperature control for heating, not for chilling. Surrounding temp is 55F, so usually not a prob with too warm. Now have 2x25 liters in there, and it makes all the heat itself. I read 64F in the box, perhaps temp in center of wort is massively higher...!?
The off flavor is sulphury/skunky/bitter.
