Procedure:

Make sure the dextrine malt is properly milled. These are very hard grains and usually not crushed if milled with other grains. I always mill then separated.
For mashing efficiency of 70%, 5 gal batch, grain temp of 70F
Strike water at 175F, 5 gal
Mash temp was 158F for 60min for thick full body mouth feel
Fly spage with 5gal of 170F water until boil volume is collected.

Hops and irish moss added as listed. Fermented on 67F for 8 days, then bottled after bulk priming with 1 cup of corn sugar, previously boiled with 2 cups of water.
