I am getting ready to brew a lager with Weyermann Floor-Malted Bohemian Pils malt. Since this is a slightly under-modified malt, I am planning on doing a double decoction mash. In doing research, it looks like the rests temps and times can definitely vary. I was thinking about doing the following, but am open to suggestions:
Protein Rest 130 degrees for 20 minutes (infusion)
Beta Conversion 148 degrees for 30 minutes (infusion)
Alpha Conversion 158 degrees for 30 minutes (decoction)
Mash Out 167 degrees for 10 minutes (decoction)
Thoughts???
