Looks good to me. Similar to a Vienna Lager recipe I did recently. It's not fully catbonated yet, so I can't comment on final taste, but she looks and smells wonderful.

What mash guidelines would you suggest? What temp should I reach for boiling and what temp should I maintain the mash at?

I did a rest at 148 for 20 minutes, then a decoction up to 158 until complete conversion. The decoction was more for practice than because I thought it was necessary. Could have done an infusion.
There's a simple website called 'Greenbayrackers' that I use to determine how much and what temp water to use for infusions. I use 'braukaiser.com' for the decoction formula(as well as a ton of useful info. on all processes german).
