Hi,
Hoping for a bit of advice or explanation for my poor brew today.
Grain bill: 5.6kg
2.7kg europills
2.4kg wheat
400g acidulated
370g torrefied oats
20l mash, 45C 15m (messed up and overshot to 55C & 68C 45m. 1 hour boil (30l).
My issues are that it looked like grimy white socks after the mash. Took a reading of 1.050 (I didn't stir it) and after the boil (40g Mandarina bravaria, coriander seeds & orange peel) it still looked the same. It's smells good, tastes sweet but the OG in the fermenter is only 1.036 (24l).
Any insight into how I messed this up would be much appreciated so I don't repeat it again.
Thanks,
J
