Gday guys,
Apologies if this is the wrong place but I my first AG on the weekend through my guten and noticed one thing that I wasn't sure about.
By the end of the run the bottom of the mash tun had a layer of sludge in it. Some of this also made it's way into the fermenter. Not sure what it is or if it's normal?
All I can think of is that the hop pellets made their way through the hop spider as they disintegrated?
Is this normal? Have I done something wrong? And If so what do I need to do in future?
Had a ball running it though, thinking about trying a porter or maybe that better red than dead Irish red ale recipe next (love them since my trip to the UK recently).
Cheers gents,
