I tried doing a triple decoction mash for a weizenbock today. What a disaster! It was too cold for both the protein rest and the sach rest. I added some boiling water to bring the temp up during the protein rest but I was out of room in my MLT at the sach rest. I pulled some liquit out and put it on the stove in a seperate pot to bring it up to 170 or so then added it back in.
Then to finish it off, I lost the SS braid in my MLT. I ended up scooping out the mash and straining it through a bag. I ended up with about 45% efficiency - very disapointing.
