Sludge, smootz, and scum

[bryankloos]

Hey all,

Here are some pics of my first boil.
Just curious is this is normal.

All reds, RO'ed and boiled fresh.

Any thoughts on if this is normal?

I tap over 95% reds and I could send you almost identical pics once I have my first boil.

Did you throw out the front-end flow of yuck from the first run?

Think you're confusing sap with moonshine

I've boiled all sugars, and more recently about 50/50 sugars and Reds. The scum you got in the filter looks quite normal, I can't make out what the other 2 pictures are.

Looks pretty normal to me
