It's awesome!
Next time I'm considering dropping the Tettnang and just doing a single bittering for the same IBU's.
I don't recall the Augustiner Helles having that much hop flavor.

I should also mention, the way this is designed, you need a heatable tun.
The infusions at the various steps isn't enough to raise the temp all the way.
The intention is to go from a thicker mash to a thinner mash as the temperature goes up.
 
I think I'm going to try this with around 9lbs pilsen, 1 lb. munich, .5 lb. car pils, and hallertu all the way through to about 25 IBUs.

For cooler style mash tun what would be the best method? Two step at 146 then 155? Do you need a protein rest.

Also, if I do a one liter starter of WLabs, should be a 100 million cells so after 24 hours I should have about 150 billion kicking right?

Primary around 2 weeks at 50, diacetyl rest 48 hours at 60, then 4-6 weeks at 40 degrees in secondary....then keg it.
 
at what temperature is the most suitable to put yeast ? i have heard someone put their dry yeast in hot water for 15 mins before putting it in the wort. is that going to hurt the beer at all ? or it is already good because when the yeast got mixed in with the wort, it will starting activating right away. do i understand that right ?
