Well, I picked up a couple more packets and pitched them before I saw all the posts here (thanks for the suggestions) and it's percolating away in less than 12 hours.
I was a little concerned with some of the growths on the top of the mash. Kind of white fuzzy clumps seen in the pictures below
The mash smelled like cooked corn and that was it, no other rancid smells. I batch sparged with 4 gallons at 175 and skimmed the white fuzzys off. Then finished the as normal.
After 20 min boil and I had 1.037 cooled to 75 and pitched the three packets of S05.
I realize this is a low SRM but never seen a wort this gray grey before. It tasted fantastic with the perfect amount of sour for me.
Really hope this turns out.
