---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Fri, 27 Nov 2009 15:49:55 +1100 From: "Williams, Rowan" <Rowan.Williams at ag.gov.au> Subject: Pilsners and decoction [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED] Hi Doak, Thanks for the comments. I must confess that I don't have much experience when it comes to decoctions. I was mashing a batch about a year ago and found that I had fallen short of my target mash temp so I pulled some of the mash, put it in a pot, heated to a gentle simmer and mixed it back into the mash and it worked a treat! Decoctions are useful compared to adding more boiling water and diluting the mash in my 10 Gal Rubbermaid mashtun. I also noted that the decoction encouraged a darkening of the mash, presumably due to malliard reactions in the pot. So, you seem to be suggesting a two step docoction - one from the protein rest to the low end of the saccharification rest (beta amylase) and then a second decoction to encourage the alpha amylase? I suppose practice will make perfect, but is there any rule of thumb that will help achieve close to target temps given that I'll probably mash around 4.5 kg or 10lbs of grist in about 10L / 2.6 US Gallons of strike water? Is a 25% pull in the zone if I want to bring the mash up from the protein rest to a beta amylase temp range? I figured that the first decoction will need a bigger pull to achieve the beta rest temp compared to the relatively smaller step up to the alpha rest temp and I don't want to totally denature all the enzymes in the mash at the same time?!
