I'm doing an Oktoberfest beer this week and am trying a double decoction mash for the first time. Normally a beer like this would boil for 90 mins to reduce DMS issues. Does the decoction method allow me to do a 60 min boil instead?

I just got a fermentation freezer, so this is my first attempt at doing anything other than an Ale. Brewed it yesterday and hit 1.051 on the nose. It took all night to get it down to 55 degs in my fermenter after getting it below 80 degrees with my copper chiller. I pitched the yeast this...

Anyone make this with different yeasts? I've got a vial of London ale yeast that I need to either make a starter and wash to keep longer or use it in this beer.

5 Gallons of Janet's Brown Ale = 16960.5 gallons

+5 Gallons: Blonde Ale = 15597 Gallons

13,758 + 5 gallons Scottish Strong Ale = 13,763 gallons
