It could keep going down but I've had many ag washes stop around the 1.010 range. I'd give it a couple of days to clear and then run it. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

So i finished the mash at fg 1010 used my new 100 l fermenter with a 12" bazooka to drain the liquid and leave the grain and thats when the slow dripping began omg it wouldnt taken about a week if i left it like that so i got the drill to work and it started pouring out is there an easier way to do this

lookup biab its how I do it :handgestures-thumbupleft: Essentially all grain is inside a cloth mesh bag its suspended in the liquid and boiled at correct temps and the flavour extracted the bag and grain is then removed and the liquid left behind is fermented easy peasy :D I also still have a boozka in fermenter stop grain entering pump.
