Mark, Don't let us put you off.
What I have said on numerous occasions is that there is no malt that we can get as home brewers that requires a temperature stepped mash (*). A single infusion mash at64-66c will do wonders for that Stella Clone. . . . there are some flavours that won't necessarily develop, but you may not even notice them anyway.
Alternatively the simplest way to do a stepped mash in a cool box is to add boiling water to hit the next step temperature if you really feel the need to do it.. . . . I doubt there is any benefit in the long term as it really is not required and can be detrimental to mouthfeel and the body of the beer.
Stick to a single infusion mash and you will be fine . . . . Now fermentation temperature that is a completely different animal :lol:
(*) Actually there is one, Rob at the Malt Miller is now stocking Weyermann Floor Malted Czech Pilsner Malt . . . and from the spec that I've seen it is questionable whether you can mash this one without a stepped mash . . . My sack should be delivered tomorrow :party: :party:
