So on August 9, 2018 I brewed the Pliny The Elder clone from MoreBeer. I had some issues during the brewing like a pump breaking from the mount, broken Speidel seal that I didn’t have a replacement for.
The worst issue of the day was the recipe called for full hops. I made the mistake of dumping them into the boil which made getting them out horrible. I ended up using a strainer which was sanitized to get as many of the flowers out I could.
I attempted to use my counter flow chiller and the left over flowers clogged it. So I ended up pumping 140 degree wort into my sanitized Speidel. Long story short...my wort fermented and got down to 1.010. I went to put the dry hops in and saw the following pictures. I’m really bummed but let me know some things I can do different please and thank you
