> For a variety of reasons I ended up using 50% home malted oats, 25% malted
> wheat and 25% malted barley and a little chocolate, specifically, for 3+
> gallons of first run wort (just under 3 gallons in secondary) SG 1.096, 11
> lbs. oats, 5.5 lbs. wheat, 5.5 lbs. barley, 7 oz. chocolate malt.

did you have any problems with runnoff?  thats what i hear people warning

> The mash and runoff went well.  Mashed at 112F beta glucanase rest for for
> 60 minutes, ramped up to 154F over 20 minutes, held for 50 minutes, mashed

> sparging (a braggot from 2nd runnings would be nice), but chose not to for

the braggot i made was nice and tasty.  definatly a good way to get more
alc out of your second runnings is to add honey.  have you seen the
article i wrote about mine?
