Yup, once I milled the grain, I threw a couple handfuls in and mixed them in to get a good distribution. Then I mashed in as normal.

I had the exact same thought yesterday. After a couple stuck sparges, I thought Id give them a shot. A couple of handfuls made a big difference.

I also ordered today, I have to say I was blown away by the shipping price as well. 100lbs of malt and a Barley crusher to replace my struggling Corona....today was a good day.

Yea, I'm a little confused as well. Did you boil off 3.5 gallons? It says that you ended up with about 7 gallons of wort (which Im guessing was pre-boil) and now have 3.5 gallons post boil. Was your boil an hour long?

Which BC did you guys go with? I'm new to the forum but I've been all-graining for about a year now, having my grains crushed at the LHB and getting a wide range of efficiency numbers.
