Can a burnt mash be saved?

Hi all,
I was cooking my first large scale mash and it smells burnt and has some black kernels swimming in the mash.
Is it worth continuing?
It is a 100 litre mash with 22kg corn. I added the corn to a boiling pot with the gas still burning and continued cooking with gas for about 1 hour. I have let it sit overnight. Its time to add the malt (65deg C) but I'm not sure if I should waste the malt trying to continue?
