Tannins during a decoction

MEMBERS ONLY

This is a very good question that inevitably arises when knowledgeable all-grain brewers begin thinking about doing a decoction mash. The conventional rule is to mash-out at around 170 ºF (77 ºC) and not to exceed this temperature during wort collection for the reason you mention. In a traditional triple decoction mash, the mash begins

RIMS systems

I must confess that I am one of those particular brewers who likes nailing my target temperature and appreciate the gadgets of modern brewing.

Infusion vs step mashing.

MEMBERS ONLY

Infusion mashing is a traditional method using an unheated mash tun, resulting in a single temperature mash. In reality, the temperature drops slightly over the mash rest and increases during sparging. Step mashing uses a heated mashing vessel, frequently called a mash mixer (or maisch böttich in Germany) and incorporates a number of rests. The

Calculate brewhouse efficiency

The easiest way to calculate brewhouse efficiency is to go metric! You need four pieces of information to perform this straightforward calculation.
