This weekend I brewed a 1/2 batch (2.5 gal) using a single decoction process (my first time). This is the recipe.

Ingredients: (for 2-1/2 gallons)

3 pounds german wheat
1.5 pounds american 6 row
1/2 oz hallertau pellets
Wyeast Bavarian wheat (3056)

Procedure:

I mashed in with 1 quart/pound of water. My first question is: when I pull my decoction for separate heating and boiling it is not very liquid, and indeed, during boiling it gets pastey(starts sticking to bottom).
