Ashland Weizenbock
Weizenbock • All Grain • 3.2 gal
This one was triple decocted, but not well. Start mash in with 3 gals water -> Temp=110F Decoct & boil for 10 mins -> 120F Decoct & boil for 5 mins -> 130F Decoct & boil for 5 mins -> 144F Added ~3gal boiling water and gave up measuring temp (problem with thermometer? Sparge was too fast, hence the low efficiency. This was a test batch, so we'll see how it goes.
