But seriously..........
I am relatively new to all grain and I am seeing some mash steps that raise this question. The NB all grains directions want a Beta rest followed by an Alpha rest. With my current equiptment I cannot do it in this manner. I can however start at the higher temp for Alpha then step down to a cooler temp (via cold pak) to reach my Beta. Then I batch sparge.
Can anyone tell me the ill affectes or con's to mashing in such a manner???
Thanks,
