Notes: Double Decoction:

*Note: Pilsner Urquell uses a triple decoction method with an initial acid rest, but I use well enough modified malts and correct for pH already so the first of three decoctions is unnecessary. The decoction measurements below are ones I developed for an electric system and err on the side of caution, so they are the lower amounts needed to potentially reach the next temperature step and direct heat can be applied to compensate.*

Perform a protein rest at 125F for 15min, then pull off slightly less than 1/3 (1.16gal/4.4L) of the thickest mash and place it in a separate pot. Bring the pot slowly up to 158F and hold for 15min, then slowly bring it up to a boil and proceed to boil for 10min. Stir often so the grains do not burn, but try to allow some 'browning' to help darken the colour and enhance the flavour/aroma profiles. Add the decoction back to the 125F mash, little by little, aiming for a beta rest temperature of 148F. Hold this temperature for 30min while adding back any leftover decoction (if any) as it cools. After this has finished, pull off roughly 1/6 (0.7gal/2.6L) of the thickest mash a second time and place it in the separate pot. Slowly bring the pot up to a boil and continue to boil for 10min. Add the second decoction back to the mash, little by little, aiming for an alpha rest temperature of 158F. Hold this temperature for 30min while adding back any leftover decoction (if any) as it cools. Once this rest has finished, raise the temperature up to a mash out rest of 167F and hold for 10min. After the decoctions and mash out are finished proceed to sparge/lauter as usual.

No Decoction:

Instead of the labour intensive double decoction mash schedule you could:

- Substitute some of the pilsner malt for vienna and/or munich to add colour and depth.
- Include some melanoidin malt for a slight decoction 'feel'.
- Add some carapils malt (or your preferred alternative) for improved head retention.
- After which, just carry out a temperature/infusion mash schedule based on your preferences.

**This beer won a national silver medal at the Saskatoon Headhunters Competition (2017) and has consistently scored 40's at other national competitions.

Notes: Smooth, rich, velvety, not too roasty, not too dry! Coffee roast notes without a burnt flavor. GREAT beer.

Wyeast 1335 is an option, but the 1450 gives a luscious mouthfeel.

Finishes at 1.016-1.020, depending on yeast strain.

For dry yeast S04 would work, but keep it on the low temperature range, 62-65 if possible.

For Imperial, use A10.

Brewhouse efficiency: 72%
OG: 1.076 (18.3°P)
FG: 1.016 (4.1°P)
IBUs: 31-ish
ABV: 7.9%

DIRECTIONS

Mash at 152°F (67°C) for 60 minutes.

Sparge and top up as needed to get about 7 gallons (26 liters) of wort, depending on your evaporation rate.

Boil for 60 minutes, adding the hops, dextrose, and nutrient according to the schedule.

After the boil, do a whirlpool step: Stir or recirculate for 5 minutes to create a vortex, adding cold water if needed to adjust the temperature to about 185°F (85°C). Add the whirlpool hops and continue to spin for 5 minutes, then allow 15 minutes to steep and settle.

Chill to 68°F (20°C), aerate the wort, and pitch the yeast. Ferment at 70°F (21°C) until terminal gravity, then add the dry hops for 2 days.

Drop the hops (or rack); once the beer has passed a forced diacetyl test, crash, package, and carbonate to about 2.4 volumes of CO2.

BREWER’S NOTES
Mash: We add the equivalent of about 1.8 g of calcium chloride per gallon of mash water. We aim for a mash pH of 5.1–5.2.
Hops: You can replace the Columbus with 4 IBUs of any bittering hop.
