@Brett: No worries mate, there's pretty much no crap lying around in my car at the moment so I'd rather you didn't leave things in there.

@Jase: BEST OUT OF 11!

A little?

Also I did some reading, on the coach home last night, about mash temps. At 65* we'll actually have pretty good enzyme activity and a decent balance between fermentable and non fermentable sugars. It will be a bit thinner than the last batch, but that's probably not a bad thing for what we are trying to achieve with Boring Beer.

Sig worthy.

@ Nik- pear schnapps is awesome bro. So good,even cut with mineral water. Can't have anymore though.


New product ?

I thought 65 gave (mostly) alpha amylase, but internets says both

Cruise was a mega effort. Gearbag survived! Mad!

Mate whitey's XV handled exceptionally well.


And I think my car was at one point not touching the ground…!

Kind of. But specialty malts generally dont give the same kind of extract potential so they dont contribute as much to the overall fermentable sugars.
Alpha amylase works best at about 67* but will still be working below that. Beta works best at 62*. Over 67* both are taking a hit, but you do get better extraction from your malt at around 68*. Its complicated hahaha
