Have done both decoction and single infusion mashes. Both are good just depends how dedicated you are. Single Mash was at 152F for 60. Started dough in at 140F until I hit strike temp. Enjoy!
Perfect!!

Very good beer. Nice copper/amber color and very drinkable. Milled grain .06" between rollers. Siphoned from top of kettle slowly after proteins dropped out. Ferment 44F for 5 days with 3rd Gen WY2206 Bavarian Lager yeast. Sat out 60hrs until 66F and immediate cold crash to 30F. Siphoned to cold keg at 2.5 volumes and held at 30F for a week before bringing back up to 38F...Cheers!
