Another stuck Mash thread

Post by jon1163 »

18 gallons of water
30# malted rye
13# 2 row
4# 6 row
10 lbs sucrose

Ran all the grains through the mill. I brought 15 gallons of water up to a hundred and seventy degrees pitching temp and then poured in my grains. Temperature dropped to about 155 I gave it a good stir. I put it about 4 teaspoons of alpha Amalyze and let it sit for 90 minutes.

At the end of 90 minutes I did an iodine test and it came out Brown. Not light-colored and not dark purple. I took a specific gravity reading and noted that I had about 1.03. I was shooting for 1.07. I added to 10 pounds of sugar, 3 gallons of water, and stirred it noting a specific gravity 1.09.

I cooled to 75° and then pitched four packets of safbrew t-58. Within about 3 hours I had vigorous bubbling in the airlock period after a day and had slowed considerably and today there is almost minimal bubbling and it sounds like no activity when I put my ear to the barrel.

Any ideas on how to kick this thing off again?

*edit- just realized I might have put this in the wrong thread topic
