Floyd BrewBlog > BrewBlogs > HMS Victory ESB - All Grain [Extra Special/Strong Bitter (English Pale Ale)]

1st batch on the new brewery. And things went wrong early on. The RIMS system clogged during the mash. And when trying to clear it I ran the temp up to 180deg. Then the sparge went way to fast.

I still put it all the way though so we will see how badly this really turns out.

TURNED OUT LIKE CRAP. WILL BE DUMPING THIS BATCH.
