https://www.homebrewersassociation.org/homebrew-recipe/victory-prima-pils-clone/

"Use a double decoction mash schedule with a protein rest at 122° F (50° C) for 20 minutes, main mash rests at 145° F (63° C) for 40 minutes and 155° F (68° C) for 20 minutes, and a mash-out at 165° F (74° C) for 10 minutes."

skipping protein rest

  1. mash in at 145 and hold for 40 mins.
  2. Immediately remove 1/3 of grains from the bag, raise temp to 155 for 10 mins, then boil it for 15-30 mins and add it back to the mash at end of 40 mins which should raise the temp to 155.
