We’re expecting our 10bbl auto-control ABE brewhouse in the next few days.
I approached them with a few questions, including if the 3-vessel set-up (combined MT/LT; BK & WP) was able to do decoction boil/s & cereal mash cooking smaller amounts of corn, rice etc.
But they said they couldn’t help (this isn’t a complaint - they’ve given good service so far).
I think we should be ok to do one decoction, by just mashing in 1/3 of the grain in to start, doing mash temp. steps, then a short boil, before mashing in the remaining 2/3 of the malt.
Cereal cooking might be more tricky, as I think we’ll only be using about 10% corn (c.1bbl mash) in our Pre-Prohibition style pale lager & I’m not sure how that’s going to work.
Any experiences, thoughts, advice?
Cheers
