Notes: Double Decoction:
Perform a combined protein/saccharification rest at 131F for 15min, then pull off 1/3 of the thickest portion of the mash and place it in a separate pot. Bring decoction up to 150F within 10 minutes, then slowly up through 167F over 10-15 minutes. Then take it up to boiling while stirring frequently. Boil for 5 minutes. Stir often so the grains do not burn, but try to allow some 'browning' to help darken the color and enhance the flavor/aroma profile. Add the decoction back to the 131F mash a little at a time aiming for a temperature of 158F. Be sure to mix thoroughly. Hold this temperature for 15 minutes adding small boiling water infusions to keep temp. Add back any leftover decoction (if any) as it cools to 158. After this has finished, pull off 40% to 50% of the thinnest mash into a separate pot. Bring this second decoction to a boil and continue to boil for 5 min. Add the second decoction back to the mash aiming for a mash out temperature of 168F - 170F. Rouse and mix the mash for 5 minutes while maintaining temp. |

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
***When Saaz AA is 3.5%, all additions are Saaz 1.5oz, 2oz, 1oz, and 1oz. |
