Hi,
I plan on brewing german hefe during upcoming week.
JZ in his Weizen episode of The Jamil Show says that decoction mashing is very important for the style. I don't want to do the decoction, and I remember that on the other show JZ stated that when you do not do a decoction you could use a dash of melanoindin malt to get the melanoindins which normally the decoction would produce.
So my question is: have you ever used melanoindin/aromatic malt in your hefe to "substitute" for a decoction?
