Help with 1st time all-grain brewing

[dlbarncord]

This is going to me my first all-gain brew. As i understand it, I bring the mash up to 122 for 30 min, than to 150 for 20-30 min, than up to 158 for 10 min. Is this the normal process? I am going to use the step method for mashing.

If you're using modern, well modified grains (which you will be unless you malted them yourself) a protein rest at 122 won't be necessary. Noonan recommends a rest at 131* instead. Otherwise, it looks mostly solid, except I wouldn't be afraid to extend the rest times at 150* and 158*, 30 min at each wouldn't hurt.
