Hi there, below is my first draft of my PU clone. I am not sure whether or not i need to do the decoctions or if being able to step mash via my HERMS will be sufficient. From the reading ive done on the net and the forum im still not convinced its worth the trouble. Any feedback regarding the recipe would be great. Also wondering what the Melbourne water is like do i need to soften it or should it be ok for this beer? Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Ive also checked out the current AHB threads but struggled to find info re water and decoctions.
Cheers
