Notes

Recipe modified from Gordon Strong's, and using his double decoction schedule (modified for the sparge for my BIAB setup):

This recipe uses a hybrid step and double decoction mash with a mashout. On brew day, mash in the Pilsner, Vienna, and Munich malts at 131 °F (55 °C) and hold for 10 minutes. Pull a thick decoction (about 1⁄3 of the grain mass) and rest the decocted portion at 145 °F (63 °C) for 15 minutes, 158 °F (70 °C) for
15 minutes, then boil for 15 minutes. Recombine the decocted portion with the main mash, hitting 145 °F (63 °C) in the main mash. Hold for 15 minutes, then pull a thick decoction (about 1⁄3 of the grain mass) and boil for 15 minutes. Recombine, adding in the Caramunich, Caramalt, and Carafa Special malts, hitting 158 °F (70 °C) in the main mash. Hold for 15 minutes. Then sparge (I dunk sparge in new pot).

His recipe calls for Carared - I didn't have, so subbed in Caramalt.
