    Type Alias DecoctionThickness

    DecoctionThickness: "thick" | "medium" | "thin"

    How much grain comes out with a decoction relative to liquid.

    Type Declaration

    • "thick"

      Grain scooped from the bottom and drained on the spoon, the traditional pull. It gives the most Maillard development and the most scorch risk, and it's the thickest a pull can be. The ratio is the grain's own absorption, because drained grain still holds about a litre of liquid per kilogram.

    • "medium"

      The usual compromise, around 1.5 L/kg.

    • "thin"

      Liquid only. It's used to raise temperature, not for flavour. With no grain there's no starch to gelatinise and little of the Maillard character a decoction is usually done for.
