First Florida IPA Brew Session

Brewed today and had issues with the grain mill getting jammed and then I lost the nut for the fermenter's ball valve that holds the ball valve onto the bucket. For the grain mill, I am milling the grain above the mash tun after the water is warmed to strike temperature, which might be causing some light condensation on the grain and then gumming things up; I am not exactly sure but my grain mill has a bar for adjusting the gap on the side and playing with this might things work, eventually. For the fermenter issue, I am stuck with being down a fermenter for now as 3/8 inch npt lock nuts are not easy to come by. I have left the wort in the kettle and then put it into the fermentation chamber at refrigerator temps to give the Quad in my other fermenter a couple more days to finish before I bottle it. Once the Quad is bottled, I will rack the wort to that fermenter and then kick off the fermentation process. I could have bought a bucket fermenter but I am not interested in spending money on something that I will use one time and that I do not even want. Outside of the fermenter debacle, I had to swap out the flaked barley I originally purchased since it was infested with bugs it turns out, so 1lb of white wheat malt was used in its place. I am eager to see what the gravity reading reveals, but it won't be for 4 or 5 days for that to be discovered. 9/3 - Got the replacement nut for the fermenter so I pulled the wort out of the fridge and it was totally fine even after 6 days; no mold or souring. Pitched the yeast and placed at 69F. Pulled 1.060 on the pycnometer, which is better than I anticipated. 9/18 - bottled today
