Used some crystal hops that I grew so AA is a guess... My (slightly more traditional) original recipe used an ounce of Hallertau for 60 min. and another ounce split between 10 min. and 5 min. instead of the Spalt and Strisselspalt, but I had them so I decided to use them. I typically mash on Friday evening, put my mash tun into a large cooler with hot water and wrap it in blankets overnight, then sparge, boil and chill Saturday morning.

Special Instructions

1.
Pull the first decoction of ~1/3 the volume ~20 minutes after mash in.
2.
Heat thick mash to ~150 deg. F and hold for ~15 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.
