Will attempt to folow the 40-60-70 schedule advocated by Fix. Mash in with ~5.25 Gal at 124° F to hit ~110°F and rest for 25 min Add 2.5 - 3.0 Gal of Boiling Water to raise temp of Mash to 140 ° F (May need to recirculate through Heat Exchanger to hit target Temp) Hold at 140-145 for 30 minutes Recirculate and raise temp to 158 ° F. Hold for 20+ minutes Raise temp to 168° and Mash out. Be _SURE_ to have enough Sparge water heated- 10+ gallons to keep up flow rate! |
