Happened again. I’m annoyed now and looking for help.
So following up to my post earlier this week I got my element completely back to brand new after my scorching incident. And it happened again. WTAF.
Who wants to tell me what I’m doing wrong? This is the result of my third all malt mash, all 3 had the same yeast (kveik), same OG (1.07ish) and fg (1.003ish). The other two had no problems stripping the day after it was finished fermenting but after my last scorch I racked this into buckets, let it settle for 3 days then very carefully siphoned it off whatever lees had settled in the buckets.
The only difference is this mash used rahr generic 2 row barley and the first two mashes used weyermann pilsner malt. Whenever I’ve used base malt before it’s always been pilsner but I can’t fathom why this would be making the difference it is. Maybe the brewers can chime in?
Or maybe I’m missing something else completely, would be grateful for any ideas because now I’m actually a little pissed.
Edit: forgot to mention my heat up procedure is to heat at 75% until my probe at the top of my column gets a few degrees above ambient and then it’s down to 5% and I control it manually from there. This has worked dozens of times before without scorching. It’s a 4500W ULWD dernord element.
