Grain bill..............
Belle Saison yeast
8kg Briess Pale Ale Malt
5kg Briess Extra Special Malt
1.2kg Gladfield Toffee Malt
1.2kg BestMalz Caramel Dark Malt - Caramel Dark
1.2kg Joe White Chocolate Malt
1.2kg Peat smoked Malt
Don't ask why these grains, just having a bit of fun and trying to make a tasty product.
The tun seemed to drain OK, maybe because the mesh is about 2 meters long and connected in a loop, if anything was slowing it down it would be the restricted ball valve, needs a full bore I think.
Love the corn style product and I have made it in the past but in a very crude fashion. Just steeped the cracked corn in very hot water and when the temperature dropped added the barley malt. It was all tossed in the fermenters and fermented on the grain.
Most say corn is a pain so I am always looking forthat easy method where you can use a large mash tun and drain off the liquid with out blockages. I am happy with the mesh drain for all grain but not for corn.
