I had no idea of the diastatic power of malted barley

by Bill Velek <billvelek@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Dec 17, 2007 at 11:53 PM

I was just watching a recorded show which includes a segment from the 
Yuengling brewery, which includes this statement:

Re****ter: "The malt is transferred to a mash tun where it's mixed with 
boiled pulverized corn known as grits."

Yuengling Rep: "In this vessel ... (referring to the mash tun) ... we 
have about thirteen thousand pounds of grits and about a thousand pounds 
of malt."

HOLY COW!!!  Thirteen parts corn to one part malt; I would never have 
figured there would be enough diastatic power in malt for something like 
that.

I also found it surprising that, according to the Yuengling Rep, that 
"One degree of difference in the mash vessel will actually give you 
quite a bit of difference in alcohol content or non-fermentable sugar 
content in the finished product."  Is that an exaggeration?  ONE degree 
can make QUITE a difference?

Anyway, it is still a very interesting show, and I appreciate receiving 
the copy.

Cheers.
