Sup yall, first post:
I've been reading about single infusion mashes, and the variability of the body (full, medium, light) of your final beer based on mash temperature. The topic of fermentables and unfermentables obviously came up. IF brewing with all grain and no adjuncts (i.e. lactose, brown sugar, etc.), what are the factors that lead to different levels of fermentables and unfermentables that result in your wort?
Maybe a better way to put it: if you brewed two beers with the EXACT same grain bill, but used different mash temperatures or mashing techniques, could you end up with different levels of fermentables and unfermentables in your wort? Or are the levels of fermentables and unfermentables fixed depending on the grains used?
Sorry for the longwinded post, hope it makes sense, yee!
