Today in brewing I decided to play with my mash a bit so I mashed in at 142 for 15 minutes then stirred while adding water to bring it to 152 for another 10 minutes then stirred and added until it got to about 155 and let it rest until recirculation.
I suppose my question is this, in doing this I should have been able to extract a good amount of both Alpha and Beta for my wort, but is there a specific timeframe that the mash should rest or is my 15 minute method enough to extract them fairly well?
Total time for mash was 45 minutes then 15 minutes of recirc.
