Anyone see any issues conditioning the grain bill and crushing it the night before brewing in the morning? I'm thinking that small amount of moisture wouldn't cause some bacteria party over night.
I'm pretty sure he means conditioning the grain (wetting it a little helps keep husks from shredding). And yes Wagon- I've done it the night before without any problems.u mean condition your water? I’m debating about the same but I’m worried about bacteria/yeast in my HLT getting to the water and changing the pH. I realize boil will kill anything in there. More interested in the pH.
True, but not much opportunity when you're talking about overnight.Barley malt is loaded with lactobacillus that just needs some moisture to wake up and start doing their thing - which produces the lactic acid associated with sour beers...
Spent grains can go bad quite quick in the right conditions so i guess damp grains can do the same if your ambiant temperature is pretty warm.
