That Little Tick!

[Toper]

Having yesterday cleared my decks and done the preparatory work, I got up at 05.30am to start on a mammoth mashing session.

Given weakness of arm (I have a small hand mill), and lungs which react like litmus paper to the dust thrown up when milling grain, I always order my malt ready ground.

Alas! I had omitted to tick the box when ordering. I now have three 25 kg bags to mill before I can proceed further.


On with the filter mask.

You may find that arm gets a bit stronger..!

[Mash]

You would be a good man to ask if precrushed is any better then...
Does it keep better or taste any better?

[Toper]

I can't admit to discerning any difference in taste but, reputedly, whole grain keeps better for longer than crushed.

12.5 kg down, 62.5kg to go.

I post this to make you smile and cheer you on.

Would I had such a right arm! Alas for bygone adolescence.

[Toper]

The first 25 kg done.

Due to space, equipment and method, I will be doing a 4 x 23 litre mash before starting on the next 25kg bag.

That's a decent vista you have to endure while you slave away

That can hardly be considered nose to the
grindstone (apt!)
But good for you, It was not even raining...
