1.Pull the first decoction of ~1/3 the volume ~20 minutes after mash in.
2.Heat to ~158 degrees F and maintain ~20 minutes
3.Raise decoction to a boil. Boil (stirring constantly) for ~15 minutes then add back to main mash, raising the temp. to ~130 deg. F.
4.Wait ~15 minutes, then pull another decoction of ~1/3 of the mash.
5.Bring the decoction up to a boil and boil (stirring constantly) for ~15 minutes.
6.Add the decoction back to the main mash, being careful that the mash doesn't get above 160 deg. F. The temp should be ~150 deg. F. (If it's too low, add more heat by pulling another small thick decoction, bring it to a boil and add back)
7.Conversion should be complete in 30-45 minutes. You can then do another decoction to raise to mash-out temperature, then sparge.
8.Mash in to barely warm water, hitting ~100 degrees F
