Yeah, I was a bit surprised too.
Its a Bohemian Brewing (mid 90s) 10 bbl Monobloc with stacked HLT and mash tun. Opened the HLT for inspection and saw a decent amount of grain in the tank. The process pipe is all connected using one pump. The HLT overflow is connected to the mash tun drain pipe ( as in the HLT overflow tees into the drain for the mash tun). The mash tun will at times clog and I'm forced to spray water up it to unclog it, but obviously grain is backing into the HLT.
Has anyone ever experienced this with a Bohemian or similar set up?
My intention is to order some screen gaskets and install them on all the HLT valves in hopes of keeping grain out.
Beyond that anyone have any insight on how to prevent this from happening again?
