I'm going to brew my second lager this weekend - a Munich dunkel. The base grains will be 8.5 lbs of Munich 10L and 2 lbs of Pilsen. I did a decoction on my last lager and want to try a simpler infusion mash on this one. My question is whether to do one or two steps. My sacharification rest will be around 153-154. These will be Breiss malts with typical analysis as follows:
Munich Malt 10L - protein 13%, S/T 37.0, DP 30 Lintner
Pilsen Malt - protein 11.3%, S/T 37.0, DP 130 Lintner
Should I do a protein rest (or any other rest for that matter) in addition to the 153-154 rest? What benefits would the additional rest provide?
Thanks,
Jake
