Well they say it happens to everybody sooner or later and today was my turn.
I was making my oatmeal stout and when I turned the tap to let the runnings out I got a slow pathetic trickle.
I had to remove half the grains from the tun to get anything happening at all and even then it was very slow.
This is my 5th or 6th ag and i have used the same equipment in about 7-8 partial mashes without a problem in the past, so I was stuffed as to why it shouls stick today.
The only things different today were.
1. I used a urn to heat my water and when it was at temp I let it flow into the tun while mixing it into the grain. Previous to this i would heat he water in a big pot and drop it all in very quickliy onto the grain.
2. I used 400 grams of malted oats.
My efficiency wa scrap as i expected and i had to use 1 kilo of DME to get the gravity up. And by the taste of it I would say its more an oat porter than a stout.
Thougts, suggestions?
cheers
