Yep, decoctions aren't really high on my list of things to do but the technique certainly adds a level of complexity to the beers. I hope all went well today and maybe the "tad roasted" smell will mellow as the beer lagers. After the beer is no longer green let us know how the recipe matured.

Will do.

Most of my temps went well. . . I should have done a double decoction, but oh well.

The only major thing that happened was when my chiller hose came undone from my pump, and my pump started squirting boiling hot wort all over me and the floor/wall. I now have 1st and second degree burns on my fingers, and I wasted about a half gallon of wort.

Its now fermenting away in the lagering fridge at 46 degrees F.
