Hello,

I haven't done an all-grain or even partial grain brew, yet. I am at the begining of planning it, though. My question is When you mash the grains, do you put all the grains together for the mash, or mash the grains seperately? Even if different grains are being used? ie: wheat and barley.

Thanks.
 
Many grains do not have any starch converting enzymes, so they all go in with the pale. You should always have at least the same amount of pale 2-row as everything else combined.

Exactly. When I mash in I add the strike water to my MLT then slowly add the grains mixing well to get rid of any clumps.
