Notes

In a separate pot, mix the adjunct with about 30% of its weight in pale malt. Add 4.87 qts 173 ° water until the temperature stabilizes at 155 °F . Hold this temperature for 15 or 20 minutes. After the 20-minute rest, begin slowly raising the temperature to a boil and boil it for 40 minutes.
While the cereal mash is at 155 °F mash in the remainder of the malt in a separate kettle and stabilize it at 122 °F for a protein rest.
When the cereal mash finishes boiling, stir it into the malt mash raising the temperature to 153 °F and let rest.
