Notes

When decocting, take 1/3 of the grains from the mash with a small amount of wort and place in a separate kettle, and bring to a boil for 10-15 minutes. Due to the large increase in temperature, you will most likely have to heat the main kettle to reach the next temperature.

After the BIAB is pulled and drained, I place the grain bag in a bucket with a spigot and sparge the BIAB grains with 158 F water to fill the boil kettle to 13.5 gallons.

To make the starter I used two 3L flasks with 2L of 1.06 OG wort in each flask. I only have 5-gallon fermenters so I have to split the batch.
