Time lapse from mashing to boiling

Post by booldawg » Sat Aug 30, 2008 1:39 pm

Is it OK to sparge into the boiler then leave it a couple of hours before boiling? I'm having to go out tonight for 2-3 hours and will mash this afternoon and maybe do the boil later tonight.

Leave it covered - you'll boil the hell out of it later, so it should become sterile.

Thanks for the replies. I've had trouble opening the message to see the replies all afternoon! Typical, I could open every other message in this section apart from this one....

Well I've been out and come back! I covered it up and its now about to be subjected to a 90 minute boil :twisted:
