This recipe comes from BYO. We just bumped up the flaked oats to 2.5 pounds.
We’re doing a step mash today. Aiming for a 122° mash to help break down some of the oat gumminess. Then going for a 152° rest.
Ended up overshooting the first temp and hit 126°. Added about a quart of cold water and brought the temp down too far to 116°. Then added some boiling water to finally get 121°.
After 15 minutes, we added boiling water to get to 152°. Within the target volume, we weren’t able to 152°, though, so we had to do a decoction to get the temp up. Ended up doing three rounds of decoction to finally hit 153°. I’m using “decoction” to mean that we pulled out about a half gallon of mash with liquid and grains and bringing it to a boil in another vessel then pouring it back in. I know that’s not quite the same thing that’s normally meant be decoction mash, but it makes me feel like we’re doing cool brewing stuff.
