Mashing
Once the malt pipe has been
assembled you can pour your grain
into the malt piple. The malt pipe is
designed to take up to abour 9kg of
grain but in the majority of recipes you
will probably only probably use 4-5kg.
Once the grains have been poured into
the malt pipe it’s important to stir in the
grains and remove all dough balls (dry
spots). Thoroughly stirring the grain
will take you about 2-5 minutes.
Once you have stired in the grain fit
the top screen (show to right)
The top screen should be placed so
that it lightly touches the top of the
grain and you should make sure the
silicon seal is concentric against the
inside diameter of the malt pipe.
Once you have fitted the top screen
use the stainless siphon cone and
place this over the extension tube with
the cone side facing up.
Push down on the cone until the extension tube and cone is
sitting gently against the top screen. (shown to left)
