Hey everyone!
My first all-grain was a success! So far. We'll have to actually drink the stuff to find out how good it is.
The fermentation was extremely active but I was wondering about the chunky stuff. I've never seen chunks like this in any extract batches. The chunks were only visible once the krausen formed and fell.
I'm assuming this stuff is chunks of protein from the hot break... I used Irish Moss in the boil (which I've never done before). Could this have anything to do with the chunks being more noticeable, as if the irish moss is absorbing a lot of the proteins out of the beer causing larger than normal chunks.
If needed, I can take a picture later this evening and post it.
Any feedback would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
