Notes
    Decoction Schedule <br />
    Mash in all malts at 131 °F (55 °C) and rest for 10 minutes. Raise mash temperature to 145 °F (63 °C) by direct heat or infusion with boiling water and rest for 15 minutes. Pull a thick decoction, raise the decoction to 158 °F (70 °C) for 20 minutes, raise to boil, boil for 10 minutes, remix and hit 158 °F (70 °C). The combined mash should now be at 158 °F (70 °C), allow to rest for 30 minutes. Pull a thin decoction, bring to a boil for 10 minutes, then remix to hit 170 °F
