So I attempted my first decoction mash (enhanced double as per Kaiser instructions) and ended up with a greater volume of lower gravity (forgot to change my settings for my older / ghetto system).
Now I am at 1.045 and was aiming for a Marzen (around 1.055 was the goal) and was contemplating adding some LDME to the ferment to boost the gravity but not sure if this will degrade/detract from the decoction work.
Any thoughts from those who are keen decoction mashers?
