Can I do this single-infusion instead?

[Burgs]

7.00 lbs. rahr 2-row pale
0.75 lbs. gambrinus honey malt
0.25 lbs. dingemans biscuit

recommended mash schedule (per the NB recipe):

122° F for 20 minutes
153° F for 60 minutes
170° F for 10 minutes

Heck, yes! I'd do that as a single infusion and wouldn't even consider a protein rest!

Cool - this is gonna be my first attempt at mashing in my grain bag/cooler setup.

Some notes I've been taking from reading threads this week:

-- Preheat the tun with hot water first,
-- Let it rest 'til I'm at my strike temp
-- Add grains, stir well,
-- Check after 10 minutes, then leave it

Then I plan on trying the teabag sparge technique - but I also think I wanna grab about a gallon or so of my sparge water in a jug to pour over the top of the grain bag as well.

Wish me luck!

What Yooper said. 153 for 60 min.....90 if it floats your boat.

 

[Burgs]

My plan is to take a personal brew day from work and start early - so there's no reason I couldn't do 90 if it will benefit me in the long run.

Indeed, I don't see any malts in that bill that require a protein rest.

@150-153F range, 75 minute mash ought to be enough. Unless you want more down, --uhhh drinking time.

Rahr 2-row pale is well-modified and does not need step-mashing.
