Hey guys,
Brewing my first beer with adjuncts this weekend. Grain bill is 6 lbs pale malt, 2lbs flaked corn, and 1 lb minute rice. I normally use Maris Otter, but bought a new base malt (Gambrinus Pale 2-Row) last week (on sale!). I found out the diastatic power of this malt is only 50, compared with M.O. at 140. Do you think my base malt has enough DP to convert this grain bill? Should I mash longer?
Thanks!:rockin:
EDIT::: It's only 2 lbs of corn not 4!
