  • Isn't this procedure rather excessive, given the high modification of today's malts? I'd think that the only significant benefits would be slightly better efficiency, less chill haze, and especially the added flavors from melanoidins.

    I'm currently planning a rauchbier based on a Vienna-style lager recipe. Since this is a darker style and chill haze isn't much of an issue, couldn't I get the same melanoidin flavor components by using a single decoction?

  • Sure it is not necssary for today's malt and this is where a lot of the controversy over decoction is these days. But the objective was to show how to do a decoction so brewers can see for themselves if it is worth the effort

  • It is something I would like to try at least once. It is just one more way homebrewers can gain a deeper level of control and precision of our beers. Thanks for the videos. I've listened to your interviews on basic brewing radio many times, but I'm a bit of a visual learner so thanks.

  • @BrauKaiser

    I think beer flavor benefits from decoction mashing when using European Munich and Pils malts - cant beat the flavor it imparts into beer.

    Kaiser - thank you kindly for this great and educational video!

    P.S.

    its really really easy to try it out on a small scale batches!

  • yes but only certain styles benefit. You wouldn't do English Ales with decoction for example, although you could if you were so inclined.

  • every beer can be brewed with decoction?

  • DAS IST DA HAMMER!!!!

  • Most Ausgeseichnet!
