Finishing the Decoction


Here is the wort produced by the two step decoction.

Color of the wort before boiling:

The gravity was 1.050 before the boil started. It should be a nice, straw colored pilsner with a relatively high gravity. I believe that this one came out to 1.055 after the boil, or about 5% alcohol.

Packing it up

Next Step: Boil

That is it for the Decoction Section. If you would like to see the next step in the brewing process, click the link below. The series on the boil process is from a partial mash extract batch, not an all grain batch, so disregard the partial mash pages and extract addition pages. Essentially, an all grain boil is the same as an extract boil after you have added the extract.
