Hi Guys,
Can anyone put me right on the following:
1) What consistency should good bread mash be? I am using a couple of sliced loaves that have been left out to go stale in the garage. The slices have been torn into smaller pieces and I have soaked the bread in around 1 & 3/4 mugs of water. When mashed the 'dough' resembles soft cheese paste. Will this be to stiff to break up when thrown in a river? I don't want to overfeed (very few fish) but I also don't want the mash drifting a long way down stream. Under 'normal' cold water conditions the river is 3-3 feet deep and flows at a medium walking pace
2) I have see reference to 'heavy' mash. Whats the difference between ordinary and heavy mash? Is it the consistency/water content?
Thanks
Les
