How do I achieve malt flavor like a micro brewery?

I might have to give this a try on my next batch. Maybe a 45 minute mash?

Sure - but maybe you also need to make changes to your recipe also, I doubt just mashing different is going to give you what you want.

It hard to make one style of beer match another style of beer without just making the other style.

In other words, don't try to make an pale ale into a bock...just make the bock.

How long do you usually mash for?

This is interesting. Last week I did my JulaiBock and I was a little pressed for time so I checked the mash constantly until I had conversion and sparged immediately. The total mash time was somewhere in the neighborhood of 25-30 minutes. It'll be interesting to see how this one comes out - especially since Maibocks are supposed to be really malty. Just have to wait a few months to find out...

ARRGH! Another brew theory to test!!!!

I've always mashed for an hour but I'm seriously reconsidering that now.
