Please help! Should have worked. My thinking is that it dropped in temp from the 152 range which is getting a bit on the cool side to add the malt, as that will cool it also, unless you add some heat to maintain temp for the next hour or so? Also, PH can be a factor. But I think its more likely the temp. Since your original mash is devoid of barley, you can addd the flaked grains at a bit higher temp. without a problem, then let it cool and perhaps add your malt at around 155 at least? Assume you are useing the right amount of water to grains for the mash process? Not the full ferment amount."
