AG question

kehaar · 10-14-2011, 02:31 AM

Northern Brewer Cream Ale AG kit calls for multi step decoction mash.

122F 20mins
152F 30mins
170F 10mins

Will it be okay to just do 60min @ 152F with 170F mash out?

What would I lose by changing the mash schedule?

You will lose some of the dryness with a single temp infusion. I'd drop the temp to 148-150F for 60.

Just realized that is not a decoction mash NB calls for. Just a multi-rest mash. Still I prefer single temp.

Thanks. Yeah I was looking at the promash analysis file. Thanks. I figured mash and hop schedules would match in both docs. Guess not.
