The Diastatic Inquisition.. YOU WILL CONVERT

[rjd]

This is not my first rodeo, and it has been a long day.

10Gal. Turbid mash for a split batch - my Lambic project.
which went ok: hit the temps though mash was thinner than intended.

next up:
A 5gal Saison: I started towards the end of the 2 hour boil of the Lambic.
I forgot to treat water for Chloramine, did not adjust ph since I was using some acidulated malt, (and this was some old pre-crushed 2row pale)
I'm not sure what axed me

strike/mash temps perfect! acid/protein/low end sacch.
and NO conversion after an hour at 149°....WHA?????
YOU WILL MAKE THE ULTIMATE SACCHARIFICATION! DANGIT!


a few decoctions, some amylase enzyme additions and I'm there..whew!

This will probably be my best brew ever! (was definitely my best EFFORT ever ) and this brew will be totally be un-repeatable!!! YEA!

oh well, laughing now and wanted to share

2row Rahr pale (old)

Yea, old 2 Row Rahr really sucks. I mashed some @ 154F for about 12 hours solid. Just wouldn't convert.

Then I tried 100 year old Briess 13 row, converted in a couple seconds. (Big beefy barley they had back then).
