Ballast Point Homework Series

[mnstorm99]

I like this idea:
Sadly, I do not live in SoCal so I would not have a comparison. But, I appreciate when commercial brewers do things like this (another example).

Does anyone else find it wierd that Balast Point is suggesting a 20 minute mash? I have done a few before, but I am not sure it would be a recommendation for a printed recipe.

A lot of professional breweries recipes say do a 20 minute mash. But, I'm with you...I'll just keep on doing my 60 minute minimum. Maybe it's overkill, but it works for me.

Guess I don't look at published recipes much anymore. I often do a 30-40 minute mash since that is about how long it takes for my sparge water to get to temp.
