Webmaster, there you are. Thanks for both of those tips!

Thanks for your reply. I'm not 100% sure of the temperature but i had just pulled it from the mash tun which was at ~62ºC when it finished. I usually correct for temperature pre-boil (as this measurement doesn't really matter, it's just to make sure I'm reasonably on target), but I only know...

After I read a little more about this, I found several different research papers that puts the gelatinization point of starch in sweet potatoes between 58-80C. I've got ~3Kg of sweet potatoes baking in my oven at the moment at 150C for 2 Hours. After that I'll shred/mash them and mash at 67C.

how'd this turn out? i'm thinking of making a sweet potato beer sometime this week.

dirtbag, you should try using beercalculus...it's free!

Try hopville's beer calculus @ www.beercalculus.com. I've been using it for about six months and it's very helpful. Plus it's free! :D

wow very nice...i reckon you may gain temperature over an hour in that thing!

bump. how did this turn out?
