    cereal "mash" in the oven?

    I've done cereal mash on the stovetop twice with cornmeal. Yes, I could have used flaked maize or even generic cornflakes, I suppose, but it was an interesting learning exercise. Now, I'm wondering if a simple water/cornmeal/barley mix will gelatize appropriately in the oven, temp/how long...

    What to do with spent grains?

    I bake bread with them, but not with stout/porter grains. tried that once and only once. I do send them through the food processor for a while first to make the bread easier to sell to my kids. Otherwise I put them on the garden, in the compost, or just rake them into the lawn.

    brewing using bread

    just cubes, but it disintegrates pretty quick once it soaks up the strike water. I think you should brew a sour ale with sourdough. but maybe that's just me...

    brewing using bread

    I did toast it, quite dark without burning it. I'd suggest you up strike water as the dry toast soaks up more than grain. Also, only add the toast after your temperature is stable in the mash and only in the top 1/4 to 1/3 of the grain bed. I did BIAB and it was an Incredible mess because I...

    high gravity, double mash technique

    Did you read the post? As I read it, the brewers mashed in one pot and used those runnings to mash the next pot of fresh grains. A reiterated mash, yes? They used their reiterated mash runnings for a quad, with the additional sugars so common in Belgian beers. They then did the modern pseudo-...
