German Maibock, nice and malty, but with a spicy hop bitterness that shines through without taking away from the malt flavors. Earned a second place with this recipe at the FOAM Cup in Tulsa, 2012. Use a Munich water profile with R/O water and add water salts for a more authentic flavor.

Special Instructions
1.Mash in grains with 3.63 gallons of 134deg R/O water, adding water salts into the mash. Hold for 30 min.
2.Pull first decoction, ~ 11 qts of the thickest part of the mash, bring to 158, then hold for 15 min. Bring to a boil for 10 min, then add back to main mash. Temp should come in to the mid-140's. Hold for 20 min.
3.Pull second decoction, ~ 7 qts of the thickest part of the mash, bring up to 158 and hold for 15 min. Bring to a boil for 10 min, then add back to main mash. Temp should come in around the mid to high 150's. Hold for 20 min.
4.Boil for 90 min, adding hops at the required intervals. Cool and move to fermenter, oxygenate, then cover and ferment for ~ 2-3 weeks, checking gravity along the way.
5.Once gravity is ~ 1.025, move to room temp for 3-4 days for diacetyl rest. Transfer to secondary and slowly cool to low-mid 30's for 6-8 weeks.
