I cannot seem to find a straight answer, maybe im not looking in the right place. Ive ran some test with my herms that I just constructed... with straight water in the mash tun running 3 gallons per minute I was able to change the temperature at approximately 2 degrees (F) a minute. My main question, if you are doing a multi step mash, and you are given times at a specific temp where do you count the in between time? i.e. Protein Rest at 135 (F) to Beta Rest at 145 (F) could take anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes (depending on grain bill, herms water temp, etc) Do you just ignore that 5/10 minutes and do your rest schedule normally? Also? How many of you tend to mash out with a multi step, would the extra 15 minutes of time/effort really be worth it?
