Latest trial underway.
Fortunately I have a chinese speaking home stay so used him to translate some of the chinese instructions. We perceived a reference to heating/cooking the grains.
Put together 2 corn mashes
1st was standard method for the yeast: 5kg crushed corn, water at room temp, 45g yeast and 1/2 tsp DAP.
For the other I heated water to 88C, added 5kg crushed corn, held it at temp for an hour (stirring several times) then added it all into fermenter to cool.
Next morning at room temp, added the 45g yeast and DAP.
Both sitting at about 27 litres total volume
The diifference (if any) will be interesting
I also plan to grab some long grain rice tomorrow to do the same trial with that (wont be as high on the temps however).
