everything I read says mash for an hour but beersmith is telling me 45 mins. which is correct? this is my first ag batch
The length of the mash depends on the quality of your crush. Since I BIAB, my crush is very fine and I can get by with a 30 minute mash (maybe even a little less). If your grains need a 90 minute mash its mostly because it takes longer for the grain particles to soak up the water, convert the starches, and leach the sugar back out.
thanks. I did find where I can set the time. changed to 60 mins. didn't appear to change anything else after, sparge vol etc..
