Howdy,
I'm brewing a beer for a brewery turned beer bar, using one of their most popular recipes and am having problems with a stuck mash.
Its a 66% 2-row / 33% flaked maize grain bill and have had to fight the stuck mash every time. It vorlaufs fine, but sticks during lautering.
I've been using rice hulls at the same % I use for my Hef (which is 50% 2-row / 50% Malted Wheat). This ratio of 3.1% worked fine for the hef, but was no good for the flaked maize so I doubled it and still no luck. I was thinking about trying some enzymes but wanted to see if anybody had any advice for me (Even more rice hulls!)
I do a single infusion at 146*, with just an insulated mash tun.
TIA
