Ever heard someone say, “You never need to do a decoction?” Today we might say, “You may never absolutely need to do a decoction, but you should embrace it as another available technique.” Join us as we take a fresh look at the decoction process, including tips for making this important technique a fun part of your homebrewing repertoire. Our discussion will include basic decoction processes, history, enzymes, mailliard reactions, and traditional and modern decoction schedules.
