So there’s a first time for everything...
As I type, I am getting to the end of the boil on a pilsner, 5 minutes left. Here’s the grist and hop schedule:
So right now, I am getting a LOT of foam. I’ve done ~60 batches and never seen anything like this before. It’s a 5 gallon batch and the foam is almost reaching the top of my 10 gallon pot. Additionally, there is an odd bitter flavour to the wort, not sure what to make of it. Any ideas as to what the issue could be? And most importantly is this batch already ruined? I’ve already decided to see this batch through, but I’m not feeling terribly optimistic.
