  How did this turn out? Did the yeast seem correct?I got caught up brewing four other beers in
  preparation for the Door County Homebrew competition coming up in June, but I'm definitely
  planning on bre...

  It was the whole "eight hour" mash duration that caught my eye, not the temperature thing. I
  would expect that long a sac rest to result in a thin beer, unless the grain bill had body
  built in...Cheer...

  Not really understanding "why" you would do this if you are using well modified Pils malt. Even
  at 148F I bet you will get as much conversion as possible in 1 hour...90 minutes tops. What are
  you tryi...

  I brew an IPA with Warrior, Simcoe, and Amarillo. Those "proprietary" hops sure are tasty

  Wouldn't the enzymes necessary for the lower temperature steps be denatured by the preceeding
  higher temp steps?My understanding is that the denaturing process for enzymes is temp specific:

  Sounds like a strait forward mash to me, just on the low side....where does the "reverse" come
  into play?Instead of doing a step infusion in which you raise the temp at stages, you hit the
  temps by le...

  I just brewed up a German Pils and I did a reverse mash. Strike temp was 148F and I let it drop
  over eight hours to about 135F. Anybody else try this? It seemed to work well, but to truly
