James from CMBecker International shows us his non-traditional way of using a decoction mashing method for adding flavor to his fan favorite altbier!

James does this 3 times for his altbier and it is the same process, just repeated three times. His goal with the decoction is to achieve that delicious dry maltiness finish known to the altbier style. Decoction mashing is also used to achieve the crisp, dry maltiness characteristic of German Oktoberfest and other continental lagers.
