so, i am planning on doing a step mash, but not really. originally i was planning on getting my resting temp around 155-153 and letting it coast down to 147-149, hopefully spending about half an hour in each temp zone that favors alpha and beta amylase. then i heard about someone that stabilized in the 147-149 range and then used to strike water to bring the mash into the second range. is there any benefit or necessity to doing one before the other? i think one of the amylases aids the other, but i dont remember which one. thanks!
