Hello,
I was trying to play with various mash profiles and I ran over the 5 step authentic German mash
Name Description Step Temperature Step Time
Acid Rest Add 12.91 gal of water at 97.1 F 95.0 F 45 min
Protein Rest Decoct 3.43 gal of mash and boil it 122.0 F 60 min
Saccharification Decoct 4.30 gal of mash and boil it 148.0 F 15 min
Saccharification Decoct 1.86 gal of mash and boil it 156.0 F 15 min
Mash Out Heat to 168.0 F over 10 min 168.0 F 10 min
Can anyone tell me what "decoct x.yz of mash and boil it" means ? Does I mean that I have to extract 3.43 gal and move it the the BK ? I looked at the step and doesn't say anything about adding water so I assume I need to take it out.
Thanks
