Notes

No Sparge Method used. 148 rest was unusually long (30 min extra) due to unexpected interruption. After 10 minutes of the 162 rest, strained thick decoction mash into side kettle and brought to boil. Ensured main mash stayed at 162* after grain removal. This is an Export-Strength Helles like Augustiner Edelstoff. Seems to fare better in competition than previous batches at lower abv versions. Delicious! Yeast was a 300ml fresh slurry from a dunkelsbock that was mixed WLP833 and S-189

Entered into NHC-Indy 1st Round. Placed 2nd. Advanced to finals in San Diego. Beer was a skosh too hoppy, but bitterness was perfect. Will likely decrease flameout hops in re-brewed batch.
