Mashed 2kg of fresh cracked grain for 2 hours at 70 degrees.
Took the grain out and was left with 6 litres of sweet tasting goodness.
Boiled for an hour with 4 hop additions.
20g super alfa/10g cluster @start of boil, 0min.
20g super alfa/20g cluster @30mins.
32g super alfa @50min.
Added 3x1.7kg beer kits @55min.
40g Cluster @60 min/flame out.
put this 10 litres into my fermenter and added 40 litres of water.
OG is 1045 and I was a little dissapointed it was not higher.(should have added less water)
Question being does the grain that is left have any more useable fermentables that i can get?
If do how?
Should i mash it at 70 degrees again?
It is wrapped in a grain bag sitting in a large bowl, the liquid draining out is starchy.
Thanks.
