- Tasting Notes
- Rich malty flavor with just enough bitterness to balance it out. Delicious!
Grain Bill
- 6 lbs Vienna Malt
- 3 lbs Munich Malt
- 1/2 lb Crystal 40L
Hops
- 1 1/2 oz Hallertauer (4.3%)
Yeast
- WLP830 German Lager
Mash
Single Decoction Mash
- Dough in with 5 1/2 gallons of water to hit 122F and rest for 35 mins
- Pulled a thick decoction just under 8 1/2 quarts
- Boiled decoction for 15 mins and added back to mash to hit 150F, rest for 45 mins
- Sparged with 4 gallons at 170F
Notes
This is my first decoction mash and it turned out awesome! I could not be happier with this beer. It is rich and malty with just enough bitterness to balance it. Beersmith told me that it would only be about 7 SRM but the decoction darkens it quite a bit past that. This is going to be my new house beer.
