Hey Guys,
So I'm doing a Maibock tomorrow and I was going to try and do my first protein rest. 16 lbs. of Pilsner malt. I have beer smith which told to use 20 qts. of water @ 129.3 degrees to hit 122 degrees for the rest and then heat to 154. The thing is my mash tun is an igloo cooler so I can't heat it.
Any advice on where to go to find out what strike temp to use for both steps and how much water in each step.
Thanks,
Randal
