When doing a stepped mash, using BrewSmith as a guideline, a sample step may be the Sacchraification Rest that says "Heat to 158.0F over 15 min" , followed by "Hold mash at 158.0 for 30 Min".
I assume this means an overall step time of 45 minutes.
So, I have a couple questions
1) If you raise the temp (steam) to 158 in 5 minutes, do you start the next step (hold) at that time?
2)If it takes longer (20min) to reach that temp, do you wait until the temp before starting the hold?
3) Does it really matter, other than reducing the brew day, if you are 10-15 minutes over on a mash step?
Just wondering here.
