scohar Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Does anybody know of an additive that can be added to a thick mash to make it more liquid? You mean apart from H2O? Check with Specialty Enzyme in California. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billowens Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 less grain, more water. No additive necessary if you're making a barley wash. If its corn mash add 10% barley at 140 degree as you heat it and 105 more at 140 as you cool it. bill owens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Do an iodine test. If you're not getting complete saccharification, you need to add enzyme...alpha and beta amylase. These are available with trade names like Dextrozyme, etc. First, though, make sure you're mashing correctly. If your temps are off, you may be destroying any natural enzyme (that you're paying for) in the malt you're buying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcg Posted March 2, 2010 Author Share Posted March 2, 2010 why not just use good old fashioned malt? Thanks for all the infomation from everybody. I wanted to go the enzyme route to keep the solids down for less chance of burn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
