Color contribution from decoction mashing?
« on: April 30, 2012, 03:02:22 pm »
Does anyone know of a rule-of-thumb for color contribution from decoction mashing?

I'd guess about 1/4 SRM per 10min boiled, but that's just a WAG. Does anyone have any idea?

Kai seems to be on another one of his hiatus (es?).  He last posted here in June of last year.

No, that's a country. The correct term is hiatiae :)

Kristen England said it was 2-3 EBC.

Interesting thread. So what is that? 1.2-1.6 SRM?

Also, does anyone know if that data was presented in a more structured form? I'm curious what the different decoction schedules were.
