re: Looks Like a Fine Night to Brew some Beer....Updated Bottling

After stirring for a couple of minutes and letting the mash sit for a couple of minutes I take my temp reading.



154....boom....right where it should be. Online calcs are so nice. Those old guys who brewed in the 80s-90s must have been wizards with math.

So I'll let this sit for 30 minutes......I only mash for 30 minutes vs. the 60 minutes most books tell you to. I have not seen any difference in my efficiency....always sh*tty....or the beer taste. I read about this 30 minute mash on some blog. He actually recommended 20 minutes of mash.
