Mashing recommendations for Flanders Red kit

[JesseL]

Hello everyone,

I just ordered (and received!) the Flanders Red all-grain brewing kit from morebeer.com. It doesn't come with any recommendations for mash temperature, steps, etc. so I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions for me. Here is the grain bill:

5 lbs Belgian Pilsner
5 lbs Vienna
3 lbs Munich
8 oz Abbey
8 oz Caramunich
8 oz Special B
8 oz Wheat

Estimated OG is 1.063-66.

Thanks in advance!

I would shoot for a 152-156. The Brett will chow through it regardless.

+1 I did 156 on my Oud Bruin and the mouthfeel is nice and it has a balanced slight sweetness that fits the style.
