I'll preface this by saying that I've been focusing on brewing traditional Bavarian beers lately thinking that if I can perfect my methods with them, then all of my other brews will be better because of it. I'm trying to understand decoction mashing and while I think I am getting the gist of it, it's not quite clicking for me. I'm trying to get a better understanding of what's going on other than scoop out some mash and boil it before adding it back. Like do I try to hold a temp to get some specific extraction before boiling and if so, doesn't boiling prevent later conversions from happening? I guess I'm not as much looking for a how but a why and what happens. Any advice on even resources(websites, books, articles,
etc...) would be helpful. Thanks in advance!
