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.

I've brewed this twice now and loved it both times. Might even be better than Sam...

This is my go to house lager. Brewed it 3 times now and always comes out excellent.
