Sooo.... would you throw it out? Is it worth tying up my only fermenter for weeks? Here is a picture of the spent grain I used. Dont' chastise me...

Yeah, that's a bummer. Do you think it will still turn out if the pale malt wasn't very crushed, or will it just taste like corn? Looks like I will need to look into a cheap grain mill to try and make this work better. All the while saving up for a bigger kettle, too.

sh3rlock, I find that you only need 3745 grams of grain bill to make your 20.82L VIF. With a smaller kettle, you will need to withhold 8L of water initially from the mash. You'll add 2.5L B4 the boil and add 5.5L into the fermenter. I can provide additional info/help, if needed. MS Thank you for yo...
