Well, did my 2nd PM brew last night & all went very well...except...when it came time to empty the mashtun, the grain had blocked the spigot & nothing came out...
I have a false bottom, which is just a folding vegetable steamer thingy, and it appears as if when I put the grain in, I'd given it too vigerous of a stir, and lots of grain went past it...sigh...so...
I dumped all the grain and water into my brewpot, cleaned out the spigot, replaced the false bottom...and then drained it...and sparged...all was ok except...
...well, there's a lot of grain pieces in the wort, even though I strained it ...
...getting better all the time =)
