Notes

Mash: Dough in cold, infuse from 180° HLT to reach protein rest. After 10 min, stir and pull about 2 gals for decoction. Infuse from HLT to reach 149°. While main mash rests, heat decoction to 158°, hold until iodine negative, then boil gently. Add a portion back to main mash to reach dextrin rest, draw off some liquid from MLT drain to refill decoction volume to 2 gal. Reheat decoction to boil and hold until dextrin rest is complete. Add decoction to reach mashout. Any remaining decoction can be added during batch sparge.

Pitch yeast at 8c. Ferment at 10c until high krausen is reached, then increase 1c/day up to 15c. Hold until FG is reached. Add gelatin, crash at 0c until clear, transfer to keg and carbonate to 2.5 vols.
