I'm thinking its like a Belgian Scotch style and 1.06+fg

I've got a stuck wort chiller. 2nd time its happened (back to back). There is a small flow of water going thru the coil, but nothing like before. Last time I reversed the flow of cold water (changing the hose connections) and this corrected the flow rate. This time, its too dark to fool around with (22:30), so I'll let it cool at a 1hour rate instead of a 15min rate.

Any ideas? I'm not putting anything through the coil, except water.

My regards,

Leon

It must be a vapor lock. Today after work I hooked the hose up to it and good flow came through. So next time I'll make sure there is a flow before putting the chiller in the wort.

According to StrangeBrew 1.7

it looks like a Belgian Strong Dark Ale, and closer to 1.090 OG. Wow, this brew will really knock you on your butt! It should have a nice copper color, great creamy head, and a sweet but very complex flavor. You could even age it for a couple years and see how it mellows out. Good luck!
