Re: Mash for an Upcoming Pilsner
Done that one a lot. Stopped doing it unless for wheat beers where I want the extra starches created during the first boil to convert into sucrose at 45C. It won't be as intense as the maltase mash, but it's a good compromise.
For a lager with modern malts it may be a little to intense and I found there are quicker and better tasting schedules. Hochkurz still wins, and there is a very good single decoction one too.
4 hours is a very long time.

Re: Mash for an Upcoming Pilsner
It may not yield the results you are hoping for. It is unnecessarily intense and far better used for making dark beers.
I replaced this one with a single decoction as Narziss once suggested, and I'm faring much better with it. The boil time of that decoction is 20 minutes though.
However, I found that fr Helles the good old Hochkurz gives a beer with a nicer body, but that's not always desirable in a Pils.
I'd look into a single decoction. It's better suited for homebrewer malts.

I wish I could use that software. But I haven't used Windows since 3.1.

Re: Mash for an Upcoming Pilsner
Yeah ...
Currently, I'm using brewtoolz.com. I convinced the guys that run it to let me contribute code for a water editor that uses Kai's formulae against the recipe's grain bill to calculate residual alkalinity. I really like not having to enter my grain bill into a separate spreadsheet or do the calculations by hand.
But it would be nice to have an advanced mash editor like that.
