Need help troubleshooting

[Phlyborn]

I made a small 2 gallon batch to use for yeast starters and wound up with gray colored wort! What could have caused this? I used a new grain mill, and just plain 2-row barley with bottled water. I'm wondering if the grain mill could've done it. I read after I used it that .5lb should be run through and discarded. Anyone ever have this happen? Needless to say I promptly dumped it.View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1434992476.944739.jpg

Looks like just troob in solution from the boil kettle.

Probably would have settled out after fermentation.

If you haven't used this malt before it could just be
hot/cold break from a higher protein content of the malt.

People seem to eager to just dump perceived problems. I
got that much time in something, it's getting some yeast.

All the Best,

Thanks for the reply. I didn't get to the boiling stage so there are no hops added either. After looking at the it again it does look like troob. When I poured it into a glass it was a milky gray. There was a lot to style out but I didn't trust the color.
