1 lb 8 oz box of grape nuts
14 oz of minute rice
10 beano tablets
1 package corn husks, cut up with scissors
1/2 oz spruce tips
1/8 tsp whole, cracked coriander seeds
1/4 tsp orange peel zest
baking yeast
I set in with about a gallon of water and mixed the cereal into the mash thoroughly. I used a grain bag, and I think that helped me not burn it to the bottom of the bot like Revvy did. I ground up my beano tablets and mixed them in as well. If I try this again, I'll be putting the beano into the water first, then adding the cereal. I let it sit for two hours at that temp, and it did taste quite sugary, but still hadn't done a complete conversion. The wiseguys in chat said I needed to do a cereal mash on it, so I set it to boil for about 10 minutes, then killed the heat. I ground up five more beano tablets to add into the mash once it'd cooled to 122. I heated it slowly back up to 150. I left it there for three hours.
I finally said F it it's done, and tried draining as much liquid out of the grains as possible. It still took a very long time. Next time I would ad more corn husks for better sparging. I got two gallons of water out of it, and I boiled it down to one gallon. I then added the spices at flameout. Cooled it off, and added some proofed Fliechmann's yeast.
OG..... 1.028 ($^*&^@#@!! And I still have some starches in the wort. It smells pretty damn good though.
Next time I will let it mash overnight and see how well that works. I will also add more corn husks for a drain bed and
