Mashed in all grain except roasted barley. Added roasted barley to the top of the mash tun. I had read recently in Brew Your Own that the roasted barley tends to "stick" the mash and that this technique is a brewing trick to prevent that. It is definitely flowing smoother through the RIMS. It seems to be a little lighter in color than it was last week (batch 49) with the same grains, though -- not as red. |
