Yesterday I made a partial mash flanders red.
I did the mini mash with non-diastatic grains and added Termamyl (thermaly stable a amylase), the mash was done as a single infusion (rather than the more complicated routine that I normally do).
The numbers are below...
2 gal water heated to 182 F
add 1 Tbsp Termamyl
add grain and mix well, temperature came to rest at 170 F
Rest for 2.5 hours
Grain bill:
26 oz non-malted hulled millet, lightly toasted
2 lbs buckwheat malt
12 oz James brown rice malt
Gravity after the mash was 1.036.
This is very poor efficiency when compared to my usual protocol, but it did result in tasty wort, and could be an easy option for somone willing to accept the poor efficiency.
If this mash had been an all grain batch I would have added a beta amylase as well.
This mash was only intended to add flavor, color, and body; the bulk of my fermentables came from 6lbs of rice syrup...so the low efficiency was not a problem.
I thought I would pass the numbers allong for anyone considering a single infusion with non-diastatic (or low diastatic) grains.
