When I need some, I grind the unmelted and malted real fine and blend in hot water. Works very well for me!!!

I first read the first half of your question and thought “why the hell would you need to bring it near boiling?” And then went and deleted that part. I then went back and finished reading your comment and realized the reason I put it in there was for sterilizing the mash. However, my philosophy has evolved. I know think it’s better to really more heavily on proper sanitation techniques. I used to be a lot more paranoid about sterilizing the mash.

Is this to arrest the activity of the enzyme or to sterilize the mash?
