I have an ebiab single vessel system. Brewed an IPA and decided to use my grain basket as a hop filter for the whirlpool hops. I added the basket with 5 minutes left to sanitize. Once temp got to 180 threw about 3.5 oz of hops. Decided it was a good idea to keep the element on to keep the temp at 180 for the 20 min whirlpool. After cleaning I notice black areas on my element. I soaked it in pbw and the black areas are not coming off. I think when I was recirculating during the whilirpool the hops clogged the bottom of the basket and parts of my element was dry
Any other ideas?
