Brewing Numpty
So whilst making a batch today all was going well.
Using the Home Brew Company BIAB starter kit.
All was going well, the mash had finished, boiler topped up to around 30 litres and turned back on to boil but after a while I realised the wort wasn't coming up to the boil and was stuck around 70 degrees. Turns out the heater element wasn't working. A wiggle of the lead gave a brief blast of power but it stopped after a few seconds.
This equipment was only purchased in December and this is only my 7th batch of beer. I'll be on to the store tomorrow morning.
In the meantime I've got 30 litres of wort sat in two FVs that has reached 70 degrees. Will this be salvageable once I get a new element or is it going to end up down the drain?
