Notes

4 quarts (4 ladles) for each decoction - decoct for 20 minutes - ensure water level and grain level almost even.

starter was made 48 hours before using 1:1 canned wort to water. Starter did not make a slurry, and needed to be scraped off the bottom. Would use a stir bar and a 24 hour starter next time with out going into the fridge.

pitched at 62F and cooled down to 50F

no protein rest for these highly-modified malts

very small amount of bubbling started about 5 hours after pitching yeast. this ramped up significantly over the next few days, reaching approximately 1-2 large bubbles a second. Bubbling only began to slow down on the 6th day of fermentation.
