Notes

Spilt batch 2124 (Bohemian Lager) and WLP 833

Beta amylase rest: 144°F (62°C) for 30 to 45 minutes
Alpha amylase rest: 160°F (71°C) for 30 to 45 minutes
Mash out: 170°F (77°C) for 10 to 15 minutes

For a Doppelbock, I add 3lbs of Maris Otter and boil the Saaz for 15.
You could brew this as an ale with 1056/US05 if you keep it on the cooler side and double pitch.
