Vienna - The water of this city is similar to Dortmund, but lacks the level of calcium to balance the carbonates, and lacks as well the sodium and chloride for flavor. Attempts to imitate Dortmund Export failed miserably until a percentage of toasted malt was added to balance the mash, and Vienna's famous red-amber lagers were born.

Notes

Mill the grains and mash in at about 36–38 °C.

First decoction: Pull about one-third of the mash from the thickest part, bring it to 70–75 °C, and rest there for 10–35 minutes. Bring the decoction to a boil, boil it for 5–15 minutes, then return it to the main mash, which should rise to a temperature of 45–50 °C. Rest for 5–10 minutes.
Second decoction: Again, pull a thick one-third of the mash, bring it to a boil, and boil it for 20–50 minutes. Return it to the main mash, which should then rise to 60–65 °C.
Third decoction: Pull 40 to 50 percent of the mash, but this time from the thinner, more liquid portion. Boil it until the protein coagulates and a hot break forms and settles, then return it to the main mash, which should rise to about 75 °C. Lauter and sparge to get about 26 liters of wort, or more, depending on your rate of evaporation.

Tailored to modern ingredients and methods:
There are two decoctions instead of three.
For the first decoction, pull a thick two-thirds of the mash, instead of one-third, with a 20-minute rest at 70–72 °C, then boil for 10 minutes before returning it to the main mash, which should bring it to about 65 °C.
Boil for 90 minutes instead of 2 hours. (W-034/70 works at 18-20 °C as well, but need 1 pck instead of 2.)
