Notes

I let all my adjunct sit around 120F for a half an hour while the rest of my strike water came to temp.

I got my strike water around 170F and started base mash, it sat around 152-155

I then put my protein rested adjunct on the burner and brought it up to 180, and added it back to the primary. This took about 30 min to heat up.

Base mash with adjunct was brought to about 155-158, so I decided to take some of the newly mixed mash and do a single decoction.

Edit: my thermometer was off by 8-10 degrees, resulting in a final gravity of 1.036. Beers had pitched enzymes until it reached 1.015 gravity and then pasteurized the beer prior to kegging.
