All ingredients several years old. Closet-emptying brew.
60g earl grey (“Countess Grey”), steeped in 500ml cold water in french press overnight. Entire thing, leaves and all, to pitch in at flame-out for sterilization.
Used extra rice hulls: ~500g
Started with a layer of rice hulls, then grain, then a layer of hulls, then rest of grain.
Maintained constant recirculation flow during mash, but only on extremely low flow. It will be slow to drain.
