When to Add Cereal Mash?

[goforevercrazywithit]

Starting first BIAB and cereal mash tomorrow.

Do I add the finished cereal mash that had been heated at 122 (15min), 143 (15min), boiled (30min) at the beginning of my main mash into the bag with my barley? Where it will undergo a further main mash (90min) and boil (90min)?

Should my cereal mash experience this much heat time? Or is it added at a time other than the beginning of the 90min main mash?

Your cereal mash is to prepare the grains to have their starches converted to sugar. That is done by the enzymes in the malted barley so you have to add the cereal mash to the main mash.

This did not answer my question in the slightest

Yes you want it in the main mash right from the start. It may take some time for the starches to be converted.

I like that reply, RM-MN. Calm and unruffled.
