Back to the garage! Join Chip and Dawson for another brew day - this time the beer is a dark Munich lager (with a twist) brewed with a double decoction mash. The Canoe Cam is busted out for more tasting notes, the dogs play some soccer, and BTV Cub Reporter Bryon Adams shows up after the work is done for some barley wine. Alles fur Brau, und Brau fur Alles.
I’ve heard of decotion mashing and I sort of had the idea but this was good to see it in action. Not sure I’d ever do one but who knows. Interesting, first time I’ve seen Brewery TV and it’s a bit quirky but pretty interesting. I watched a few back episodes when I was supposed to be working. Thank goodness for the internet.
Watching this now on lunch break. Thanks for posting! I really love these shows, and this one was neat - a little bit of history, little bit of science, little bit of weird.
i did my first decoction, a triple no less, this winter on a doppelbock and it took first place in the nebraska homebrewers shootout. but don’t count on me doing one again :-\
