I tried to clone a dogfish 60 in a partial mash and a lot went wrong... can someone help me? This was my second time brewing with my whole setup.
I tried a batch sparge for the first time. My wort wound up looking like it does in the picture. Tons of sediment from the mash.
I also got a stuck mash... again... I fixed it by blowing into the tube on the bottom of my MT.
I am thinking that it could be my grind or possibly not enough water in the kettle when I put my grains in. But what causes that sediment? I didn't get that the first time I brewed (and fly sparged).
A lot else went wrong but I think I can figure that stuff out on my own, (final volume was off, gravities went from 1.045 pre-boil to 1.08 post boil, my strike temp did not lead to the mash temp I was shooting for at all, etc!).
Thanks a lot!
