Hi all,
I like to do all grain brews but have not yet built or bought the equipment needed for doing large batches. I also am pretty new to brewing so I'm trying to see what recipes I like before making such large batches. For these reasons I do 1.5 gallon batches and I do my mash in a pot on the stove. My question is this: Since I'm applying direct heat to my mash, can I just change the temperature of the stove over the course of the mash to get the appropriate rests?
Also, how important is decoction mashing? I want to make a bock and I'm wondering if I just do a single infusion if it will come out any worse.
Thanks!
