15 minute mash?

[Denny]

Sure, you can do a 15 min. mash, but will it ALWAYS be the right mash schedule for ALL your beers? I vary my nash time depending on the wort fermentability I'm looking for. You don't make the same recipe evry time, why should you use the same mash schedule every time?

My first and only all grain I watched was a half hour mash. I tasted his beers made the same way and they tasted good to me. I do not like to take chances so I do an hour mash myself.

No We Don't recirculate for 45 minutes,We mash for about 20 and recirc for about 15 or 20(till it's not grainy)sometimes less.I cut my homebrew mash to about 30 minutes as a result of my jobs practices and had full conversion and great beer.I don't think I'll ever go any lower than 30 min though I'm too much of a nuerotic pussy.We also would never mash at 163 we mash almost all beers in the pope's sweet spot 153 - 154.
