Notes: | Suitable for larger batches, up to 25 pounds of grain in a thick mash. |
The initial mash temp was 146F due to cooler than normal grains and a cool mash tun. The temperature was brought up over 45 minutes using 2qt of boiling water at 15 minute intervals. The mash finished at 154F. The sparge was started before the bed had set, resulting in a compacted bed and a stuck sparge. The chinooks were added as First Wort Hops to help keep the boil-overs under control. |
Next time: -Cook the oats ahead of time; at least do a beta rest to keep the sparge from sticking. The stuck sparge probably contributed to the poor efficiency for this batch. -Change to 1.25qt/lb and make sure the tun is preheated. -Use blow-off tube. |
