Hi. I've purchased an all grain kit to have a go at brewing a Budweiser Budvar line. The full recipe and method are here:

Is this possible using my electric brewery set up? Want suggestions or do I need to do a simplified work round and Engle decoction?

The method relating to the double decoction is:
First Decoction – Grain Split 50/50 between G40 and kettle

G40 – 18L – steps programmed – 38c for 15min, 65c for 15min, 75c for 20min, 99c for 20 min
Kettle – 12L – 38c for 20 min, then raise to 50c and remain there.
Sparge – 10L – not used yet

Once the steps are completed empty the kettle into your largest vessel, in our case it’s the G40, this will aid reducing the temperature of the boiled grain to 65c, if it doesn’t achieve 65c then use your chiller to bring it down quickly.

Allow the mash to rest at 65c for roughly 20-30 minutes.

Second Decoction – split the volume between both vessels, ensuring the G40 has enough liquid, the sight glass can help with this. Below are our rough volumes along with the next steps for the 2nd decoction.

G40 – 15L – steps programmed – 75c for 10min, 99c for 20min
Kettle (25L) – 15L – 65c for 30 min
Sparge – 10L – not used yet – heat to 75c

Once the steps are completed you then add the kettle mash back into the G40, this should help equlise the temperature at around 75c. Stir and complete rest for 10 minutes.
Once rest step completed lift basket and sparge with the remaining 10L of water at 75c as G40 raises temp to 98c to prepare for boil, then proceed with the 90 minute boil adding the hops as per timings.[/url]
