I want to make British table beer. My basic grain bill will be 5 pounds of MO and a pound of crystal.
I know the higher temperatures you mash at the more unfermentable sugars in the wort which translates into thicker mouth feel.
My question is ...Can i mash at a lower temperature, say 150*, for 45 minutes then do an infusion to bring the temperature up to 156-158*. This way I would get a lot of fermentable and unfermentable sugars.
I am fairly new to all grain and don't know if I can extract sugars like this with the different temperature ranges or if once I hit the 150*s range it is a one and done thing.
