Today I brewed my pumpkin amber and had a horribly stuck mash. I've brewed this beer before, and never had anything like this happen. Literally no liquid would come out of the MLT spigot. I ended up having to scoop out grain/wort and put it in a collander, and do mini-sparges with each scoop. Should I expect any off-flavors from having done this?
I used a whole lb of rice hulls. Like I said, brewed this beer last year with the same amount of pumpkin and had no issues. The braided hose in the MLT was so compressed, I'm going to have to replace it. I think I'll probably go for one of those mesh tubes that are little more stiff.
