Traditionally, mashing may be of one of two distinct types. The simplest process, infusion mashing, uses a well-modified malt, two to three volumes of water per volume of grist, a single vessel (called a mash tun), and a single temperature in the range of 62° to 67°C (145° to 150°F). With well-modified malt, breakdown of proteins and glucans has already occurred at the malting stage, and at 65°C the starch readily gelatinizes and the amylases become very active.
