I have grains escaping from my mash tun into the boil kettle. I vorlauf approximately a gallon before I start letting the wort flow into the kettle. My mash thickness is ~1.5 qt/lb. I start the flow slowly then increase it to a reasonable rate. Could it just be that the mill setting is too narrow at my LHB, where I get my grain and crush it?
Also, what negative effects should I anticipate from having grain in the boil kettle? It isn't a whole lot of grain, but mainly small particles much smaller than the size of the pores in my false bottom. I have heard you can extract tannins and other undesirable compounds, but will a small amount of grain effect the taste significantly?
Cheers
