So I watched the Youtube videos on decoction and tried it last night, two thing I would like to ask:
1. on the calculation for decoction volume, Kaiser worked on 19L, but also said +/- 3 L water per 1kg of malt (which would then be 12 L)?
2. Do you then sparge with water after aswell? or is it no sparge?
So I also used 4 kg malt, and stole KAISERS volumes for enhanced Double Decoction, from the video ,and had a bit of a problem reaching temps. I think the mash was to thin/large and I live high above sea level thus boil temp is actualy @ 95.C (only realized it half way in)
