Brewday: I got up at 5.30am this morning to do a brew (I'll post the pics and schedule a little later when I've eventually stopped crying).
5 mins from the end of the boil I could smell burning. Somehow, some of the hops had gotten below the plate covering the elements on my boiler and got burnt. Only a small handful, but enough to give smell and colour to the brew.
Has anyone ever had this happen? I carried (cried) on to the (bitter) end, added my yeast and now have a good ferment going, but am expecting to have to tip this down the drain in a few days.
I bought extra pale malt too, to get a nice light coloured ale and all was going well, until....
What's the consensus.... will I have to empty it down the drain?
I'll take the advice along with the finger pointing and laughing... bring it on
Oh why me....................... :pray:
