Decoction Mash

To achieve the steps in the mash schedule I followed the https://braukaiser.com/wiki/index.php/Decoction_Mashing#Hochkurz_Double_Decoction schedule, I expect a single infusion mash at 64-66C would be more than adequate but as this was for a competition I decided to push the boat out and try something a bit different.
