I have noticed that on my first 2 recipes designed with Beersmith (Pale Ale, Single Infusion Mash, Medium Body), the mash time was 60 Min. On my second recipe (Saison, Single Infusion Mash, Light Body), it says 75 min mash time. Why the difference? I am assuming it is because of the difference in body, but it seems backwards to me. I would think a light body beer would have a lower mash temp and a SHORTER mash time, not longer. Can someone explain what the science is behind this? Thanks!
