Hi All!
I've been searching for some decent info regarding Scotch distilleries' teqniques for mashing - and the rest of the process as well.
All info is generally heavily guarded as I'm sure you already know.
I Just came across this mashing procedure in a Youtube vid, and would like to know what you guys make of it.
I think its from either Strathisla or Auchentoshan distillery...

I recon whats happening here is that they are mashing at 62°C for 2.5 Hours as step 1 by adding 20K Liters @ 65.5°C water to the grains, then addition of 7K liters water @ 76°C to raise mash temp to 67 or 68°C as step 2, then step 3 as mash out, and step 4 as sparge?
What are your thoughts?
Super keen to get as close as I can to the method the Scott's use in their distilleries.
Any info would be greatly appreciated!
