Notes

Single Decoction Mash; Mash-in, 120 f Protein Rest.

Take approx 1/3 of the total mash to decoct, run the decoction through the 120 f, 140 f, and 150 f, rests for 20 mins each, then bring to a boil and boil for 30 mins adding liquor as needed. Dump the decoction back into the main mash and adjust as necessary to hit;

Special Instructions / Notes:
Used RO water from a machine in Burbank. This beer should be served young, I bottled this beer from the primary after 8 days of fermentation and those bottles won Best of Show at the Mayfaire Competition in 2010.
