Had a call from Mark (Jolly) re. a stuck mash - any one else had mash problems from the terrified/flaked out wheaties?

[nigel_c]

Surprised at the higher mash temp. Just milled my grains now for brewing tomorrow. I normally recirculate with the chugger but I think I may go back to drain and pour back on top so not to put too much pressure on grain bed after hearing that.

well got finished at last,Mashed in at 75c held at 70c for 90 mins.Got a stuck mash, nothing moving wheat went like cement,Had to use a grain bag so i lost a few points ended up with 21 L at SG 1.055.

[molc]

I recirculated with a solar pump to keep the high temp and it came out fine at 1.064 with 22L. Had to had 5.4kg pilsner malt to get that though - ye must be getting better effeciency

So was the torrified wheat supposed to be milled or treated like flaked grain?

I googled it and came up with conflicting answers so just milled them anyhow

[Jacob]

I milled them and had no problems with mash.

[nigel_c]

My boil is on at the moment. Milled the lot and no problems at all.

The jolly fella was probably half pissed doing it

Brew day done. Complacently uneventful. Boiled for 90 + mins to get to where I needed. Bucket is pretty full. Think its going to need a blow off tube.

I had a really slow sparge, not stuck, but...not happy. I assumed it was because I pestled some of the wheat, instead of just cracking it.

Brew day done. First brew on the GFR.

Completetly uneventful.
