This should help...
Thanks. I came across that one last nigh. It really helped. Now I just need to figure out my grainbill!
Thanks for the detailed response! Last questions before I order grains. Is the Caramunich necessary? I can’t get it here and don’t want to use crystal 40 as a sub. And if I were to add some Cararoma would about .25lb be enough?
Get rid of the Melanoiden Malt. The actual decoction takes its place.
This is my decoction mash schedule.
Mash in @ 1.5/quarts per # grain to hit a 142-144 target.
Rest 15 min @ 142-144
Pull thick decoction (think oatmeal with a little liquid)
I do one “scoop” per # grain (1 quart scoops)
Raise thick decoction to 158. Hold there 15 min. Then boil thick decoction 5-30 min depending on style.
Add decoction back to main mash. Targeting 156-158. Hold main mash there 30-45 min.
Pull thin decoction. Boil and add back to main mash to hit mash out. 165-168.
Sparge as usual.
Seems to be typical rest temps for a Hochkurz schedule (irrespective of the decoction). I wouldn't say it's just for dopplebocks.Are these the temp rests to use for a doppelbock?
