Hey all,
I'm trying to come up with a complex mash schedule for a strong golden ale. I haven't really read too much that coached me on the proper times for each step. I found plenty describing the temperature at each rest, but not much concerning time. So far I have:
Beta Glucanase Rest - 15.0 min @ 110 F
Protease Rest - 20.0 min @ 122 F
Beta Amylase Rest - 60.0 min @ 144 F
Alpha Amylase Rest - 20.0 min @ 162 F
And of course I'm going to finish it up with a 170 F mashout. But I really don't know if those times are ideal or not... I'm most confident about the beta amylase rest because we want a more fermentable beer with less body, but how does the rest look?
Thanks,
Steve
