Brewing a Munich Helles today with Bootleg Biology’s Andechs German Lager Yeast, the trouble began when I added PBW to the mash instead of pH 5.2. I tried to skim off the top layer of the mash and salvage it, but I kept getting wafts of weird chemicals during the Hochkurz mash, so I dumped the mash. Ugh….,putting the remaining PBW in a different container. Wife asked me a question and I got distracted and didn’t pay attention, that’s what I get. Try again on Tuesday with fresh malt. Anyone else do something that stupid??
