Corny Chicken Mash

[Broken Jug]

Being bored, I decided to make a 80% corn and 20% malted barley mash.

Unfortunately, I was a little short on corn, so I substituted it with chicken scratch (cracked corn, whole wheat, and milo).
My ratios are:

• 62.5% Corn.
• 17.5% Chicken scratch.
• 20% Malted barley.
• 35 gallons of water

I cooked the corn and chicken scratch for ~2 hours, then I added the malted barley after cooling the corn and scratch down with some ice water.
After conversion, I added more cold water to bring down to pitching temp and to top it off.
After adding the balance of the water, my temp was still too high to pitch my yeast, so I added 2 more gallons of ice water which brought my total volume to ~42 gallons, and my temp down to 74F, but the extra water also brought my OG down to 1.050.
My starting Ph was 5.7, the next day (yesterday), it’s fermenting nicely, and the Ph dropped to 4.6.

I’ll keep you posted on how it turns out, good or bad.
