John Palmer says the mash-out (raising the temperature of the mash) 'stops all of the enzyme action (preserving the fermentable sugar profile) and makes the grain bed and wort more fluid'.
I don't think I managed to raise the temp of my mash despite raising the temp of the sparge water to 78degC. I had no issues getting the wort out but am left wondering the impact of not 'preserving my fermentable sugar profile'. This doesn't mean a lot to me, any ideas?
