Week Two

Well week two began today with lectures from ray Daniels on milling, mashing enzymes, and adjuncts. As the time goes on the days seem to be going faster and faster. I'm still learning a lot more than i ever thought possible. At the end of class today we watched a video from the early 90's which was titled "deadly dust 2", It was about as good as you could imagine. It was about grain dust explosions, and it had horrible special effects. Most of the day was spent on mashing enzymes, a lot more in-dept than just your alpha and beta amylase. It involved phytase, Cytolytic and protolytic enzymes. All of this went down to the chemical level and what was happening during each stage of mashing. I'm rambling a bit and i should be going to bed soon as we have to be at school before 7am so we can take a bus up Wisconsin to a Briess malting plant. I' have a post and pictures up later this week.
