Other notes"
The other thing step mashing allows is for rests at the optimal temperatures for beta amylase and alpha amylase as well as a controlled temperature ramp from the beta rest to the alpha rest. This to me is the real key to step mashing because it gives the brewer the ability to increase wort fermentability. Most highly dry beers have a long rest at 140 °F (60 °C) for beta amylase and then a slow ramp up to 158 °F (70 °C) for the alpha rest. The result is an increase in wort fermentability as compared to infusion mashing at a single temperature.
