Notes: v1-v2 -> Adjusted infusion temps for rests.
Crystal added after 1st decoction
Carafa special added after 2nd decoction pulled.
Reduced crystal malt significantly based on feedback and personal tasting notes. Bumped up wheat to account for difference in gravity.
Use pure O2 for oxygenation instead of shaking and killing head forming proteins.

Recipe modified significantly at this point.
Based on the Dunkelweizen recipe in BYO article - https://byo.com/article/dunkelweizen-style-profile-2/

Also based on a recipe by gordon strong in modern recipes.

I pitch only 1 packet per 5.5 gal. This intentional under pitch promotes ester creation.

# Rest Instructions

! False bottom is not used.
! Do not add rice hulls or crystal malts until the final steps.
! Bag carafa, crystals, and base malts seperately
! Use alvarado for wheat addition.

## Ferulic Acid Rest/Beta Glucan (30 min):
* This whole step - Heating Element Off, Pump Off
* Do not add any acid or salts. Targeting a high pH for ferulic acid step.
* Mash in with malt only, no rice hulls, mash thickness - 1.5
* Begin first rest at 113 for 30 mins.
* Wrap in a blanket

## Proteinase & peptidase Rest (5 min):
* This whole step Heating Element Off, Pump Off
* To boiling water, add salts for 4.7 gal and all the acid. Targeting 5.3 pH.
* Add boiling water to bring temp to 131 (mash thickness - x)
* Rest at 131 for 5 mins (do not turn heater on since I can't recirc without rice hulls)
* It's likely the protein rest will last longer than 5 mins. That's fine. Try to aim less than 15 mins at 131 though.
* Wrap in a blanket

## Beta Amylase Rest (Hold till decoction is ready - approx 40 min):
* Pull thick mash for decoction - 5 quarts. put in biggest kitchen pot. (approx 2 gal)
* remove grains from GF and set basket in a big stainless kettle.
* Dump liquid into larger kettle and heat to 153. Get the grain dust and proteins in the bottom of the kettle back into suspension.
* Pour 153 liquid back into kettle, add mash basket back in and let recirc at 148.
* Add crystal malts now.
* hold at 148 while decoction is happening (about 40 mins).

## Decoction (20 min a-amylase, 10 min boil):
* Slowly heat decoction to 146 and allow to free rise to 148. Use stovetop at full.
* Get decoction to 148 and hold 20 mins. Require a little heat, try wrapping in towels to maintain temp better.
* Heat decoction to boiling. Takes 10-15 mins to get to boil.
* Boil 10 mins.

## alpha Amylase Rest (20 min):
* Add decoction back into main mash to acheive 158 rest temp.
* Ramp up to 158 if temp misses. Allow temp to drop if it is a little too high.
* Hold at 158 for 20 mins.

## Mash out (15 min):
* Pull 5 quarts thick decoction and immediately heat to boil. Boil 10 mins.
* Add rice hulls to main mash and start recircing if the mash was stuck before.
* Add carafa here
* Add thick decoction back into mash to achieve 168 temp. Rest 15 mins.

Use pure O2 for 60 seconds at 1 L/min, then add approx 60b cells of yeast.

Strike water volume (3.75 gal) = 1.5 Q/lb
protein rest water volume (1 gal) . = 1.8 Q/lb

Decoction equation
https://www.homebrewtalk.com/threads/raising-mash-temp-with-decoction.387486/
BrewerinBR
(TT-CT)*(AG*(0.3125+R))/(212 - CT)

TT = Target Temp (F)
CT = Current Temp (F)
AG = Amount of Grain in Mash (LB)
R = Ratio of Grain to Water (quarts)

1st decoction
(158-148)*(10*(0.3125+1.9))/(212 - 148) = 3.4 quarts thick mash

2nd Decoction
(168-158)*(10*(0.3125+1.9))/(212 - 158) = 4.0 quarts thick mash

Notes: Sahti inspired. Non traditional. Mash until conversion is complete. Then later and vorlaf through a handful of Spruce branches, and an additional.5 lbs Rice hulls plus 2oz of hand crushed juniper berries. Ferment for 2 weeks before bottling with desired carbonation level, or still.
