First off I am using well modified malt and I am going to do two decoction steps because I want to get the dry flavor of the malt in my Marzen. I am only going to do two so here is my mash profile:
Infuse to 142 (30 min)
decoct to 156 (30 min)
decoct to 168 (10 min)
I am not sure about the 142 or keeping it at 156. I suppose I could do something like 148 and 162 and them 168.
Can someone elaborate on a two step decoction without a protien rest? When I do a protien rest I get lousy carbonation but a firm rocky head. The carbonation doesn't stay in the beer at all and I am gussing it has to do with protien levels.
