Hey everyone,
Is it possible to have too much diastatic power? For instance, if you have like 150 L-lbs are there any consequences to that?
If there is no ill effect, would you expect a shorter mash time?
My other question, which is loosely based on the first one, is how much base malt is too much in a recipe? I know there are beers comprised almost solely on base malts, but let's say the recipe is an imperial IPA(or any style for that matter), when would it be too much base malt?
Thanks a lot,
Pat
