![]() ![]() Debranching (95-112 F) – Helps to increase the solubility of starches resulting in increased extraction for certain malts.Lowering the mash pH has a number of benefits, though a Phytase rest is rarely used by modern brewers, as there are alternate ways to control mash pH. Phytase (86-126 F) – Lowers the pH of the mash slightly.Here are some typical steps (also called rests) in a multi-step mash with their formal descriptions: They had relatively low enzyme content as a result, and required additional steps to help enhance the enzymes. Before malting and kilning was well understood, most malts were what we would today describe as “undermodified”. The historical reason behind multi-step mashes was to develop enzymes to help in the conversion of starches. In the earlier days of beer brewing, multi-step mashes were the standard, but in modern brewing have largely been abandoned. In a multi-step mash, we make multiple stops at different temperatures along the way – typically from lowest temperature to higher until we reach our conversion temperature of 147-156F, at which we convert the sugars and lauter. At the end of the mash process we run hot water through the grain bed with some kind of filtering mechanism to extract the hot wort we’ll boil to make beer. A cooler or insulated pot is often used to maintain temperature though on more complex systems such as RIMS and HERMS a recirculation pump and heating element may also help maintain the temperature. Typically this process takes anywhere from 30 to 90 minutes. By adjusting this conversion temperature we can also affect the body of the beer. ![]() At this temperature a combination of alpha and beta amylase will break longer complex sugar chains in barley into simpler sugars that can be easily fermented. If calculated properly you will hit a mash temperature usually in the range of 148-156F. The process involves heating water to a fixed temperature slightly above your target temperature, and then adding your crushed grains. Most newcomers to all grain and partial mash brewing start with a simple single step infusion mash. The single step mash has many advantages including time, cost savings, simplicity and consistency.
