Notes

Double decoction:
Dough in grains into 105F water and rest at 95F for 15 min. Then add 178F water to mash to bring temp up to 122F for 15 min. Then remove 1/3 of mash with slotted spoon into a separate pot (first decoction) and heat to 155F for 15 min. Then heat decoction up to a boil (stirring regularly). Add first decoction back to main mash, bringing the combined temp to 152F for 20 min. Then remove 1/2 of mash (with liquid this time) into a separate pot (second decoction) and heat to boil. Then return decoction to main mash for a final rest at 165F for 10 min.
