I don’t know, it looks like yeast rafts and break material to me. What were your starting gravity and gravity before you dry hopped? I don’t see much of a krausen ring in your bucket. So maybe something going on with your fermentation.

Fly sparging is great, the efficiency is tremendous! But… add another 45 to 60 minutes to your brew day. Batch , pour or dunk sparge are less efficient but effective. You will need to add more grain to hit your mash target gravity or hope you extraction is optimal. Full volume mash you will...

You can get these to cover the tap if bugs are an issue; https://www.kegworks.com/kleen-plug-beer-tap-faucet-cap-brush/ Spray them with sanitizer before putting them in the tap.

I use one of these under my grainfather https://www.lowes.com/pd/EASTMAN-24-in-ID-Electric-Water-Heater-Drain-Pan/5001255379 I only get a few drips when I switch connections from mash recirculating to the chiller.

Ok that’s good you have the siphon tank, makes it easier than turning upside down.

It will not shut a pump off, so I gravity fed from hlt. You put it in your mash tun to maintain a 1 to 2 inch amount of sparge water above the mash.

When I had my setup I carbonated the beer to 1.7 vols for a week. Then put it on beer gas

With your tun could do like Clawhammer Supply. I had the ultimate sparge arm when I had a large kettle. No grain getting stuck in little holes.

Yes they are worried. I worked in a hospital and people put all kinds of stuff up their azz

Yes, I just tried it. Open your recipe , click recipe tools. Then label generator and you can edit some parameters

Looks yummy, that’s a perfect gravy lake in the mashed potatoes

Dead Ringer is a great clone of Dead Guy Ale, I have made it many times. Don has some great advice but if you boil less you will need more hops. Using less than 4oz in the 60 minute boil would be cloyingly sweet. Hop substitutes for the Centennial would be Cascade, Columbus or Chinook.

Naw, keep it. You like it

If you are using tap water use a campden tablet to treat the chloride/chloramine. If you are using a garden hose get an RV water hose

With 1 oz I get 25 IBU with 6 grams I get 5.31IBU

Yeah change that to 100% and boil temp to 212. That will fix it

I have 3 teams I follow; Notre Dame, Army and Navy so I have no skin in the game. FSU got screwed just because the mindless selection committee doesn’t believe in a 3rd string QB. They pull this kind of crap all the time. Farewell PAC-12 /rant over

I shared the recipe if you would like to see it; https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/edit/310251 I liked it, I need to brew it again

It can add some grapefruit too if used late or dry hopped. I have done chinook only in an arrogant bastard clone, which is very piney.

Welcome!
