    Is it 100% buckwheat? Also is it going to be malted buckwheat or raw?
    When we experimented with a buckwheat whiskey it was only about 1/3 of our mash, and the rest was malt so our problems may be a bit different. We treated the buckwheat same as we would corn and that seemed to work well.

    But also, this….Optimisation of a Mashing Program for 100% Malted Buckwheat : https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/j.2050-0416.2006.tb00708.x

    I’ve used buckwheat before, but it was in a larger mash of malted barley. As long as you have a beta glucanase as a part of your enzyme regiment, you should be fine.
