Grey wort

[Mr Majik]

Hi all,

Hope you all had a fab new year!

I aquired w load of demijohns so as far as malting my own goes im going to do a whole load of little trile and error batches. Good fun!

I dont have a photo of it as of yet (i will try to upload one later) but todays wort came out a grey-ish blue colour. Im going to go ahead and carry on a normal but just wondered if anyone has come across this before?

 

[PD]

what was the brew....greyish blue doesn't sound good.

Didnt think it looked good. But for the sake of a 2 liter brew i did while i was getting dinner ready im curious to see what happens.

As for what is was, 500g of home malted pail malt. No hops.

(For experimentation purposes, figuring out first different malts, then the effects of different hops, yeasts, sugars, woods etc)

I can safely say though, looking at it in its demijohn, it doesn't look appetizing.

Could be a number of things. even floury stuff from the malt.

can't say what's wrong, but i can pass some wisdom on - until it's done and you're drinking it and it's wrong beyond repair, it'll probably be okay.
