The images really left me really ...Hey there, Sean!<br />The images really left me really thirsty... This baby must be delicious... Congratulations on your hard work!<br /><br />Man... I need your help: Last saturday I had the weirdest mashing ever, and I guess the only one who can put some light on the mess it was is you...<br />This is what happened:<br /><br />1 - I was mashng an American Wheat beer (50% ilsner malt, 50% wheat), and, after mashing in i saw the crushed malt was full (let´s say one ouce) of little (very little) bugs (like those who eat the barley)... It was inevitable... the bugs where mashed with the malt, because when i saw then it was too late to remove the damn little creatures... <br /><br />2 - the total conversion took more than 2 hours (!), and after I took the last iodine test and mashed out, i did another test and the iodine turned black again, like the conversion was undone... that was weird, and I can´t find a reasonable explanation for that... one time the test was OK, and then it wasn´t...<br /><br />3 - I divided the wort (a 1.040 OG) in three different containers, each one with a diffrerent type of yeast (all from fermentis - S-04, T-58 and WB-06)... the fermentation started flawlessly, then the T-58 container stalled after 48 hours. I smelled the "thing" through the airlock, and it smells like sulfur compounds, which are common in a lager, but not in ale...<br /><br />After that, verifiyng the absence of activity in the airlock, i notest that the kraeusen was settling down, so i agitated the carboy a little bit, trying to start the thing over again... well, i´ll know the results of that tomorrow, but I´m still worried with the sulfulric smell yet...<br /><br />4 - So, Sean, wht do you thing gone wrong with this? I researched my notes once and again and couldn´t find any flaw in mashing procedures... the temperature schedule was followed perfectly. Idoine test made several times during the mashing showed progressive (although slower than the usual) conversion and i though it was because the low mashng temperature (about 62ºC, for a dryer beer), so I raised for 64ºC... then the conversion occured perfectly, showing the iodine completely orange, as the pattern... but then, taking another sample 10 minute after, the iodine test turned black again...<br /><br />Had you saw or heard a thing like that before? Could the little bugs have a anything to do with this bizarre thing?<br /><br />I did not took any samplefrom the beer yet, since I put it into the containers saturday night... But I´m very intrigued, because after two years of activity as homebrewer this seems to be my first great disaster (a 20 gallon disaster)...<br /><br />After long analysis, I thought that you may be one of the few homebrewers i know who can really put some light into this mess...<br /><br />Can you help me to analyse this?Marco Aurélio Piacentinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15655035684263205938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6503041414576508480.post-12944452368658984122012-04-10T13:00:28.945-07:002012-04-10T13:00:28.945-07:00Very interesting to read about another Spelt Saiso...Very interesting to read about another Spelt Saison being brewed.
