I am making a Vienna lager (80% vienna, 14% caramunich, 6% Crystal) and was contemplating doing a protein rest. The goal being to end up with a clearer beer and I have heard the protein rest does a good job with this. But then I read in How to Brew "Using this rest in a mash consisting mainly of fully modified malts would break up the proteins responsible for body and head retention and result in a thin, watery beer". So now I'm not so sure if it's a such a good idea.
