I repeated the same Wisenbock recipe, only difference - scaling it down to 23l batch (stuck & scorched one was 25l). With barley husks still at !0% of malted wheat.
This time I skipped the 20min rest at 45°C, so it was a thinner initial mash. And after the initial stir in, let the grain bed rest for 60min before recirculating through it.
Didn't stick this time. Recirculation fine at around 50% flow, but couldn't manage max flow (without overflow).
Before boil, checked base by draining off into two buckets. But only a sprinkling of flour & fine crush this time.
Stirring madly throughout mash, so that recirculation can be done at max rate without overflow, doesn’t seem to make much sense. Surely the bed isn't then a filter.
