Are you doing a cereal mash with the weetabix, or assuming that since it was cooked it's a lot like flaked wheat, maize, oats, and is pregelatinized? I love weetabix, but didn't consider it for a beer ingredient.

I assumed that ,since it was made into those flake things that it has already been gelatinized. I added it to the mash to make it soft, disolve the malt extract in the weetabix and also to allow the mash to finish the starch conversion just in case.

Wow, I eat Weetabix when I am working in Canada. Kind of like shredded wheat that disintegrates in your mouth upon impact. I personally can't imagine brewing with it but that's just MHO. Montanaandy
