Hey guys,
Going to be breaking in my Sabco this week with a honkers ale clone, and am curious what rests should I take during the mash? Just wanted your opinions, so hit me with your best shot!

Grain bill:
9 lbs 2-row
1/2 lb Caramunich
1/2 lb Crystal 40L

Hops:
1 oz Northern Brewer 60
.5oz Cascade 15
1 oz Cascade 5

Either gonna use WL English Ale or Wyeast London ESB, not sure, I have several different yeasts on hand for round 2 (Splitting a batch up into several test batches to see which yeast I prefer), but wanted to get the kinks outta my system ;)
 
60 minute Sacc rest (Low for Fermentability, High for Body)
10 minute Mash out
45 minute sparge.

Several of us BM users have approximated that the Conrad/Fix method of dough-in equates to a 1.45qt/lb water/grain ratio.

Have fun with it. I am thrilled with my BM.
