Went and had another go today at this.
Backed off on the grain to a total of 11.3kg. 60% Golden Promise 40% birds heavy peat.
Cracked the grain to 0.047" I am pretty sure this was the problem last time. The grain wasn't cracked properly.
Heated strike water to 50c, added the grain, held at 50c for 10 mins, heated to 66c, held for 90 mins, sparged, cooled and straight in the fermenter with some whiskey yeast.
Worked a lot better this time as OG is 1.061.
Cracked Grain
Starting to recirc
Mid way through the run
After sparging and removing the malt pipe, I had this foamy scum on top. Is this normal? I just scooped it off.
Cheers
