Content: 5-gallons of water
8.5 pounds of cracked or flaked corn
1.5 pounds of crushed malted barley
1. Make the Mash
The process begins by heating 5-gallons of water to 165°F. When the temperature reaches this point, turn off the heat and add the full amount of corn to the water. It’s important to stir the corn consistently for 5 minutes. After the 5 minutes have passed, stir the corn every 30 seconds to a minute until the temperature has dropped to 152°F. When the temperature reaches 152°F it’s time to add the malted barley to the mixture. Once the barley has been added, cover the container and let it sit for an hour and a half. However, during this time be sure to uncover the mixture every 15 minutes to stir. R eplace the cover on ce you’ve stirred the mixture. The goal for this part of the process is to successfully turn all the starches into sugar.
