I'm planning to brew an APA with some leftover pilsner malt and was pondering mash temp.
I've used pilsner malt for lagers using Palmer's 50-60-70ish method. This has always worked well for me for that big, malty continental flavor but I'm hoping to go a simpler route for an APA

Would a single-step mash around 152F work well for an APA? Or would something along the lines of a 20-30 mins rest at 140, then 152 for 45 mins work better?

Here's the grain bill:

8.5 lbs Avengard Pils
1.0 lbs Wheat
0.5 lbs Crystal 20

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

152 would be fine. I don't have much experience with step mashes, so I am not sure how the step mash would compare to the single infusion. I doubt there will be much difference.
