This caused air to be sucked back in the drain line under the set grain bed and disrupted the grain. The kettle filled about 2 gallons before fixing and noticing the cloudiness in the wort. I should have returned to the MLT, Vorlauf again and then runout into the kettle. I did not do this, I just finished the sparge. So the boil was cloudy and the ferment is cloudy.
