How long for Hefeweizen mash.

I want to do a single infusion mash for a hefeweizen. How long should I mash it for and at what temperature.

154 F for 1 hour...
Probably don't need an hour but why not?!

Thanks for that. I'll head down that path.

Yep, I've done 3 AG Hefeweizen batches, and did a single infusion at 154 for all of them.

I had a hard time keeping the first one at 154, but since then I've refined my process, and the last time (just this last Saturday), I hit 154 exactly, and it only dropped a few degrees in an hour (it was very cold outside).

So far, the Hefes taste great with that mash schedule. I've heard quite a bit about decocting hefes, but haven't tried it yet.
