Wow indeed, I was completely off tracks on this one... Any recommandations on the milling size, coarse of fine? I rest the grain sat 185 but it eventualy drops at 158 after over 2 hours. I'm using a cooler mashtun for the tests with no heater. The recommanded temperatures for Distilazyme AA are between 167 and 185. Wouldn't 200 affect enzymes efficiency?
Perfect, I will add grains before adding enzymes and rectifying pH. I add distilazyme GA right after the yeast as per Lallemand recommandation. Again not a good idea?
Omg they were not supposed to be malted. :s I was also adding the enzymes in the mash before, maybe that helped. I dunno, I was still getting 12-13 Brix, which is not that great at all I know...
I'm mashing in a cooler. I need to drain the content and without rice hull, I'm heading right to stuck mash! The distillery I work is not ready to invest in a proper mash kit now, at least not until I can come up with something great which is not that easy with two coolers and a few carboy meh! I wish I could ferment on grain. I might try with our 13 gal SS Brewtech.
Thank you so much for the input. Obviously, I'm no mashing expert. I do gins, maple spirit and liqueurs. And Rye soon hopefuly!
