Prep: Cook: Cool:
1 hour 5 hours 2 hours
Directions:
Switch boiler on. Turn water valves to
filtered water. Bleed cold water line and fill
mash tun with 15” water.
Add pH stabilizer, VISCO-BUSTER, and
OPTI-MASH to water. When the boiler is up
to temp, turn the steam valve to open
position. Allow mash water temp to reach
110F. With steam valve open, add 50lbs
Ground Rye to tun. Turn the steam valve off
and on to keep temp between 120F and
140F. Add each bag, stirring well with
immersion drill and paddle until all clumps
are broken and all 200 lbs have been
incorporated. Add malt and stir well. No
clumps should remain. Allow temperature
to reach 149F. Mash should be a thin
porridge like consistency.
For four hours keep the temperature
between 140F and 150F degrees by heating
and stirring well every 20 minutes or when
temp drops to 140F. DO NOT heat over 150F.
After 4 hours turn off steam and switch the
boiler to standby. Connect the mash tun
ball valve to the pump, pump to bottom
opening of chiller tube, and top opening of
chiller tube to hose feeding into top of
mash tun. Turn on chiller water and open
the valve at the bottom of mash tun. Once
mash has reached the pump, brace the
hose feeding into the mash tun and turn on
the pump. Be careful of splashing hot
mash, it will come out quick! Add
ULTRA-FERM and continue cooling until
mash temp reaches 90F.
Immediately transfer to Fermenting Tanks,
mix 100g yeast into the top ⅓ of mash.
Close tanks, attach CO2 hose to tank top
valves and place the opposite ends in a
clean bucket of water.
