Notes

Sour mash technique. Mash as usual until time to sparge. Don't sparge, let mash get down to 120 degrees, take 8ozs of milled unmalted grains and mix them in with the cooled mash. Put aluminum foil directly on top of the mash. I have a metal mash tun so I left it on the burner, put a sleeping bag over the mash tun and put a heater in front of it to maintain a temp above 90 but below 125 degrees. Only had to turn heater on twice a day for about an hour each time. Leave for 24 hours and sparge as usual. Very delicious and not overpowering sour. Enjoy!
