Notes: Double Decoction:
*Note: Pilsner Urquell uses a triple decoction method with an initial acid rest, but I use well enough modified malts and correct for pH already so the first of three decoctions is unnecessary. The decoction measurements below are ones I developed for an electric system and err on the side of caution, so they are the lower amounts needed to potentially reach the next temperature step and direct heat can be applied to compensate.*
Perform a protein rest at 125F for 15min, then pull off slightly less than 1/3 (1.16gal/4.4L) of the thickest mash and place it in a separate pot. Bring the pot slowly up to 158F and hold for 15min, then slowly bring it up to a boil and proceed to boil for 10min. Stir often so the grains do not burn, but try to allow some 'browning' to help darken the colour and enhance the flavour/aroma profiles. Add the decoction back to the 125F mash, little by little, aiming for a beta rest temperature of 148F. Hold this temperature for 30min while adding back any leftover decoction (if any) as it cools. After this has finished, pull off roughly 1/6 (0.7gal/2.6L) of the thickest mash a second time and place it in the separate pot. Slowly bring the pot up to a boil and continue to boil for 10min. Add the second decoction back to the mash, little by little, aiming for an alpha rest temperature of 158F. Hold this temperature for 30min while adding back any leftover decoction (if any) as it cools. Once this rest has finished, raise the temperature up to a mash out rest of 167F and hold for 10min. After the decoctions and mash out are finished proceed to sparge/lauter as usual.
No Decoction:
Instead of the labour intensive double decoction mash schedule you could:
- Substitute some of the pilsner malt for vienna and/or munich to add colour and depth.
- Include some melanoidin malt for a slight decoction 'feel'.
- Add some carapils malt (or your preferred alternative) for improved head retention.
- After which, just carry out a temperature/infusion mash schedule based on your preferences.
**This beer won a national silver medal at the Saskatoon Headhunters Competition (2017) and has consistently scored 40's at other national competitions. |

Notes: Maceración escalonada iniciando a 64 grados durante una hora para luego pasar a 70 grados durante treinta minutos y finalizar con Mash Out a 75 grados durante 15 minutos. Recircular el macerado sobre la cama de grano de ser posible, hasta lograr un líquido limpio. Trasvasar a la Olla de Hervido y encender el fuego. Hervir durante 60 minutos fuerte y vigoroso. Agregar lúpulo de amargor al inicio (60 min) y lúpulo de sabor luego de 40 minutos de hervido (20 min). Apagar el fuego, hacer Wirlpool y dejar reposar por al menos 15 minutos. Enfriar hasta 20 grados e inocular la levadura. Fermentar a 18 grados. Al séptimo dia y una vez que la actividad del airlock ha cesado, purgar levadura y pasar a temperatura de maduración (lo más bajo posible). |

From Craft Beer & Brewing Magazine, Aug-Sep 2020
This homebrew-size recipe is based on the fast-selling triple IPA from Reuben’s Brews. Emphasize yeast health with a big starter, generously dry hop, then give it enough time to cold condition.
Batch size: 5.5 gallons (21 liters)
Brewhouse efficiency: 75%
OG: 1.092
FG: 1.016
IBUs: 50 ABV: 10%
Adjust your water profile to ensure a mash pH of 5.3 and a chloride-to-sulfate ratio of 3:1. Mash the grains at 148°F (64°C) for 60 minutes. Vorlauf until the runnings are clear, then run off into the kettle. Sparge the grains and top up as necessary to obtain 6 gallons (22.7 liters) of wort—or more, depending on your evaporation rate. Boil for 60 minutes, adding the corn sugar and hops according to the schedule. Whirlpool for 10 minutes.
After the boil, chill the wort to about 67°F (19°C). Aerate the wort and pitch a big, healthy yeast starter. Ferment at 69°F (21°C). After primary fermentation is complete, add the dry hops for three days. Ensure a full diacetyl rest in case of refermentation—if possible, test for VDK levels (see “Hunting for Diacetyl,” beerandbrewing.com). Crash to 38°F (3°C) or lower for at least a week, then package and carbonate. |

Notes: This is the same Summer Ale as batch 10. sample of batch #10 lacked hop aroma.Must get to doing some dry hopping.Added goldings this time at flame out into top of B.K.without a muslin bag. Don't do this as it cloggs the system really bad!! Make sure you use a muslin bag or one of those hop balls to eliminate this in-convenience. |
