Notes

Best Pils & Barke Munich. At the end of the 154 rest, pulled decoction into small side kettle and heated it while also heating main mash to the 162 rest.

Added one tab NaMBS to mash water. This batch was a re-brew of an early Jan-2020 Maibock that was perfect at 90 days. Had a slight lingering bitterness at Day 61 when judged in Der Hoosier Braumeister Competition.

Current batch will be bottled around Day 82 and judged around Day 96 for IN Brewers Cup. Pitched clean slurry of yeast into 72 hour 2.5L starter, decanted before pitching. Fermenter took off by the following morning.
