Can I partially mash a grain the evening before my brew day, cool it, and then reheat it separately the next day before adding to my strike water with the rest of my crushed grains?
I need to partially mash Teff, an ancient grain, at 176 F then boil it for 20 minutes. Then cool it down to strike water temp of 152 F.
My brew day is longer than I like so if it it won't mess up the brew, I would do the partial mash the evening before, cool the smaller amount in a cold water bath, refrigerate it overnight and then gently reheat it on my kitchen stove before adding it to the strike water with the rest of the crushed grains.
Is this feasible?
Thanks in advance for your advice,
