I am going to make a pale ale with a partial mash. I wanted to try a partial decoction mash by mashing 4 lbs of pilsner at 148 for 45 min in 2.5 gallons. Now the part in question, is seperating ALL the grains out (biab) to decoction boil a bad idea? After a 20 min boil I will add it back to the mash water to mash out. I have done single decoctions before with success (all grain).
During the boil I'm gonna add dme. Thanks ahead of the time for ur time and suggestions.
