This may have been done already but I haven't found any results posted my next experiment is going to be brewing a batch of beer bye going from Doan temperature straight through to 170 degrees at a rate of 1 degree every 2 minutes to see if these ramp and rest periods are necessary
My usual Mash schedule is as follows I dough in at 130 degrees Fahrenheit I immediately begin ramping the temperature to 145 degrees F I hold for 40 minutes then I ramp to 158 degrees Fahrenheit and hold for 40 minutes then I ramp up to 170 degrees Fahrenheit and hold for 10 minutes
That's a total of 90 minutes not including the ramp time which on average is 10 to 15 minutes
I am going to make this a split batch after I'm done Brewing I will ferment half of it as an ale the other half is a lager.
I'm not attempting to reach any specific flavor profile I'm simply trying to find out what will happen will the beer even taste good so to go along with this test I am again going to do a 50/50 blend of pilsner malt and pale ale malt
If anyone has tried this before I would be glad to hear your results before I attempt the experiment I don't plan on doing this batch until next month in the meantime I'm going to keep researching to see if I can find if anybody has done it and posted their results on some other forums
