I made my first all grain batch the other day and used Lil' Sparky's Nut Brown AG recipe almost to the letter (had to change one of the hops). The problem is, two days later it looks like the picture below:
The wort looked like that since I pulled the first running from my MLT. It was my first time using flaked oats in the mash and I just put them dry in with the rest of the grains but I am now thinking that was a mistake. These were bought from my LBHS and not the Quaker quick oats which I'm not sure makes a difference or not.
Low efficiency I can deal with (was 1.043 pre boal and 1.050 post) but that doesn't even look right. My wife even thought it looked wrong.
Any ideas what I did wrong?
