2.0 oz Saaz 3.5% 60 min
0.7 oz Tettnanger 3.4% 30 min

Mash Schedule:

Double Decoction Mash, 130F, 145F, 155F.
Mash out 168F

Brewers Notes:

Alternate to decoction would be to use step infusion.
Mash in at 135F with 0.8 qt/lb using 3.25 gal of 154F water.
After 20-30 min add 1.5 gal of boiling water to reach 155F.

The size of the batch is 12 gallons. This amount includes the
trub and waste at the bottom of the kettle after the boil. At
least 10-10.5 gallons of fermentable wort is achieved.

This beer is excellent (even if I don't say so myself).
