Is there a solution to over “mashed” mash and strain.
This was my second year of extracting and I expected to use a new extractor. It wobbled too much and was useless. I had to crush and strain. I may have over crushed. I used a bucket with holes over another bucket and used a paint stirrer( attached to drill) to mix it up good and then let it sit for two days to drain. Now after filtering with cheese cloth and a strainer it still has ???? in it. I think small wax particles. Any solutions.? I have about 2 1/2 gallons. It’s dark and has particulates in it.
My solution is to just use it all for Mead if all else fails.
