I want to brew a Berliner soon.
I read about how it was traditionally made.
It involves decoction brewing technique which I understand how to perform.
I also read in some places that after the mash the wort was drained directly into the fermentation vessel. Now, this frighten me a little. Are there any advantages (beside time) to No boil brewing? is there a difference in the taste or feel that I (or anyone) should risk a no boil?
I know there has been some discussions around this technique but everything I read failed to really measure the benefits and the downsides of this technique.
I hope to achieve this in this thread.
Thanks
