Hello all,
I'm brewing an Ocktoberfest/Marzen today and I was wondering whether I should do a protein rest or not. The recipe is found here: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f59/worlds-best-oktoberfest-123493/
It calls for a double decoction, but I can't do decoction because of my inferior equipment. Here's the grain bill:
5.00 lb Vienna Malt (3.5 SRM) Grain 47.62 %
3.00 lb Munich Malt (5.5 SRM) Grain 28.57 %
2.50 lb Pilsner (2 Row) Ger (2.0 SRM) Grain 23.81 %
Should I protein rest at 125 first then up to mash temp?
Advice is appreciated!
Thanks!
