We add a very minimal amount once the Viscoferm is added. We use a recirculation method during cooling (the Viscoferm is best below 120F), and once the enzyme is added the mash become very noticeably thinner.

We end up having to add a bit of water and agitating to thin things out after conversion, but we account for the added water. Do you use any enzymes? Before we transfer from chiller to fermenter we add Viscoferm to thin the mash, seems to work pretty good and doesn't stress out our pump too much.

TB, That's great! Will you be making any other stops in the area or just coming to York?

I just got started recently with Wiggly Bridge in York, having a good old time so far! I definitely need to make the rounds at the other local distilleries to pick some brains, thanks for the suggestion!

Hello! Just posting a first message on here to get used to everything I guess. My name's Matt and I'm an assistant distiller in Maine, so I still have a lot to learn. I'm an avid beer homebrewer, so I've got some experience with mashing and fermentation, but the distillation process is still quite new! I look forward to learning a lot from the community, and hopefully at some point I'll be able to give back!
