It's funny that you mention doughballs because some malt I use seems to have higher chance of doughballs while other brands or types don't seem to have it. Briess and Rahr rarely if ever clump up. Stellarbrew mentioned a higher possibility of chill haze and you know I don't like the sound of that one bit!While I can't speak for the Crisp I use Fawcett MO and love it. The only *side by side* I've done is a SNPA clone and preferred the MO version by far. The only thing that I noticed was a tendency for doughballs. I just mash in a little slower to solve that issue. I think you're going to like it Ken.Beach

I actually built a hopper with an adjustable opening on the bottom that sits on top of my MLT. I'm able to add the grains and stir at the same time and have one hand free. This really helped to reduce the doughballsI just picked up a bag of two row Rahr, actually turned out to be Pale Ale malt, and have used it in two batches and no doughballs. And, I would have to go back and check my notes to be sure, there may have been more chill haze in the MO batches. IIRC I was peeved that it took so long for the beer to clear. I know that doesn't fit in you program Ken.BeachIt's funny that you mention doughballs because some malt I use seems to have higher chance of doughballs while other brands or types don't seem to have it.
