Lower temp would be less dry?

Lower temp should make it MORE dry, lower final gravity.... in theory. But in real life, the mash temperature doesn't matter as long as it's between about 148-158 F, and what matters more is the mash TIME.

For almost every beer, I recommend mashing at 150-152 F for at least 40 minutes. In this case I think 60 minutes might be better, because WLP001 isn't the greatest attenuator and I want to be sure it will be dry enough. Most other people mash for 60 anyway. You can definitely never go wrong with 150-152 F for 60 minutes, I don't think many people will argue with that.

Well thanks I’m a beginner have done a few brews and I liked the taste of all grain out of all brews I’ve tried extract , brewin bag wasn’t bad but the all grains I have done were better thanks again
 
Sure, why not just throw in some Beano and 3711.

beano would be too expensive...i had to look up 3711, i got interested when it said lots of esters, (i have a theory that, like white flour and food, people are brewing out the feel good stuff for flavor), but then it said low flocculation.....

+1 middle of the road...i would add, i get an efficiency bump with an extra step at 162f after that though.... (83%->89%)
