Notes

Fermenting 1 gallon in carboy. Do not filter, but try not to put in much trub material.

Save some wort for speise/gyle. 3.3-4 vols Co2. Shooting for 3.5. About 22 oz - so set aside a sanitized bomber of wort in fridge. If 22 ounces, will get about 3.7 vols.

Primary ferm at 62F first few days, about 3, Then 65F maybe another 3, finish at 68F.

Boil, then cool speise. May pitch with some left over yeast or from bottom of primary. Mix all in bottling bucket, then bottle.

Secondary ferm in bottles at 68F. At least 3 weeks.

The Infusion/Decoction schedule is:
6.4 qt strike to 113 with grain - 10 min sit
Boil 1.5 qt with salt, add to grain to bring to 131 - 10 min sit
Boil 2.1 qt, add to grain to bring to 147
Take about 2.9 qt with 30-40% grain and boil, add back to bring to 161

I'm at altitude, so boiling is slightly under 212, This brings approximately 6.3qt strike, 1.6 qt, 2.2 qt, then 3.2 qt decoction.
