Anyway it was supposed to read "Newbie Question"
So I did a "partial mash" the other day. I figured I would goto the store and get some 2-row malt, and mash 1 pound of malt and 1 pound of oatmeal for my oatmeal stout. Anyway followed directions (This was my first PM too) and got what I thought was a nice thick mash goo out of this. I then proceeded to boil as usual with my extracts.
Only problem is a I used 2-row crystal malt. I thought all I needed was 2-row and just grabbed what I saw. Am I to assume after further reading that all crystal malt (Whether its labeled 2-row) or not actually contains no enzymes? (Dammit) It isn't that big of a deal... It will still be beer (And I have made oatmeal stoats just by steeping the grain for 30 minutes before....this should only increase the oatmeal taste since it was "mashed for almost an hour ...
Anyway Now I have a bag of Muntons 2-row Pale Malt in preparation for my next batch.
Also the amount of trub on my carboy is almost to the 1 gallon mark. I had no clue I would get that much trub from a partial mash. Or is it only because I didn't actually "Mash" anything?
