Hi y'all,
So i've made it a habit to put the water into my mash tun before adding grain, sometimes i need to cool it down with a little tap water. My question is in that little adjustment phase (~5 min) am i denaturing the enzymes?
I've not noticed an issue with conversion, but am curious nontheless.
Also, does anyone add grain to the tun first, then the water, or is it always water first then grain? When i first started, i did grain first and found that i had less doughballs than now doing water first.
thanks!
