Notes

Francin Pilsner Malt (Skagit - 2.11)

4L Starter with 2 packs of Urkel

Split speciality milled grain from base - reduce astringency

Protein Rest - 15 min @ 126F
Sacch I - 30 min @ 145F (direct) - execute decotion
Sacch II - 20 min @ 158F (direct)

Remove about a third of the mash to a different kettle, raising it to the boiling point, holding it there for 20 minutes or so, and then returning it back to the main mash

Tasting Notes:
Let this lager for 5-6+ months, it really gets into it's prime around then. Could notch the sweetness down a point or 2, but probably would leave the same for next go.
