All grain ratios

[Notsob17]

I am about to start my first sweet feed. I was unable to find any sweetfeed without pellets for the longest time so i bought a bag of rolled barley. Corn, oats, and molasses are plentiful, but i had to get seed mill to specially order the barley for me. Then later today an out of town TSC I was passing by happened to have some PP All Grain. Im defintely going to use the All Grain as is, but i would like to try mixing my own blend of corn, oats, barley, wheat, rye, molasses, etc. With the exception of molasses is there a certain ratio these grains should stay around? Seems like most recipes all have roughly the same ratios of each. I assume going heavy on say the wheat or barley , or any of the grains, would change the flavor profile slightly,,,i just didnt know if it was not recommended. Just would like to experiment with different stuff.

If you want to do an all grain sweet feed, do 30/30/30/10 of corn, oats, barley and molasses being the 10%.

As far as other all grain. recipes. If you stick with 30% malt ( barley or wheat, or a mix), then the other 70% can be what ever the hell you want. Corn, rye, rye malt, millet, cheerios, etc. The world is your kitchen. Of course, if you get really knowledgeable about the science of mashing, you could decrease your malt, or use enzymes and really own your world. But starting out, just make it 30% malt, and the rest whatever you want.

In the above ratio for all grain sweet feed, if that barley part is malted, well you know. Kinda falls right into that rule set, Huh?

Never mixed my own sweet feed, but when I was doing sugar heads (I have since gone all grain) all that I would use was Producers Pride All Grain from my local Tractors Supply. First class and reasonable in price. I believe it has 12% molasses.

Good luck
