Single Infusion Mash Temperature Reference

- 140—149 degrees F Beta-Amylase Higher percentage of fermentables – fuller bodied, sweet beer
Many brewers use a temperature of 154 degrees F. for a preferred mash temperature which gives a nice balance of body and fermentability that works well for American and English style ales.
