first off I had my 1st stuck sprag, wow it was like I put cement in there. now I have done 40 all grain batches without this happening so no big deal but I have no idea why. I guess I will call this batch "stuck on me" or something like that.
the next thing that happened for the 1st time is I had a weird oily film on top of my boil. it was like I put a 1/4 cup of canola oil in there, I'm puzzled.
next I found some gobbles of something that looked like frog eggs without the yokes. they were like egg whites but the size of peas. I found these left behind in the trub and hop matter after I transferred the cooled wert to my fermenter. there was not a lot of them and I did not save any but what they were, I do not know.
the only thing I did that is not regular is the OG was 1.050, I normally shoot for 1.060 +, but this is going to be a kolcsh with WL0029 yeast. oh I also used Camden tab for the 1st time???
By the way, this week is my 1 year anniversary of brewing, maybe the brew gods are screwing me? I Don't know.
