Thanks good point on the sanitization and testing at 150+ will do this in future

Yes thanks..I have stopped worrying about adding trub to fermenter (more worried about losing fermentables)..i have been steepng in an igloo cooler to maintain constant temp versus electric stove..I think I'll try mashing longer as suggested

ok thanks...it had stratified and was able to measure the sg of the clear liquid...a bit on the low side which leads to next question! I have consistently arrived at low SG on these partial extract kits despite following instructions closely...in the end to maintain target SG I have added less...
