I'm only new to this and I've been keeping to the same recipe's easier that way , only to discover I've been doing it all wrong all this time oopppps.
I use flaked maize in my brews and have just read it goes in the mash and not as I've been doing in the boil (my bad) but to be fair I get a really clear beer and a good taste good head and a beer that on average comes out at 5.8.
So my question is, is there a right or wrong way to use maize ......
Thank you all and a happy new year to you all.
Think I went wrong but got lucky
Re: Think I went wrong but got lucky
Hi there, the correct way is put it in the mash tun !
Re: Think I went wrong but got lucky
I'm not sure about maize, but some adjuncts can be boiler or mash tun. It's more convenient to put them in the mash tun so that's the standard practice.
Let's all go home, pull on our gimp suits and enjoy life

Adjuncts such as sugar, honey, treacle etc. can go in the boil. Any grain goes in the mash. You want to mash with the malts so that the diastatic enzymes convert the starches in the unmalted grains.
