I recently converted my brew system to electric. With this new feeling of unlimited control, I decided to perform a mash with a protein rest. Everything went well. Temps were all spot on. The only thing that was a bit off was my my volume.
But after the boil, I drained the boil kettle to find my heating elements were complete covered in black, charred malt sugars. I thought for sure that this batch was a goner. But I persevered and followed through with fermentation and dry hopping.
Now this beer is very young, but I'm not getting any charred or burnt flavors at all. Pleasantly surprised that this beer turned out ok. Has this happened to anyone else? Every post I've read about charred elements ended with a dumped batch of beer.
