Can enzymes degenerate over time

[crow]

Far canal I am having the devils own time with this bloody mash . I iodine tested it and all it would be good for is making purple die , there is some sweetness but nothing like there should be. The whole mash is starting to look like a major cluster fuck and I can't work out why . I re did the last rest and got a slight improvement but am starting to wonder if there is a time limit on using gristed malt . The malt was milled maybe summer last yr so 10 months ago and was kept it a plastic bin

Beer brewers at my work say about 1-2 months after its been gristed . that's why they buy bulk grain then grist it when they need it. Last a lot longer

Damn well I can't put more malt in or I'll need two fementers hmm might have to use Poxy liquid malt. Fuck me well buggers my single malt up then :angry-banghead:

Pretty all the flavour will be there , its just the sugar side of things

yes I could just add extra sugar but I know it won't quite taste the same, I know because if tried that before, just bloody nuisance. I could ferment it as is but I can't see me getting over a 3% wash and that will shit me. A refractometer would be handy now :roll:
