Many Belgian brewers use the 70-72 rest, so it's very likely it's in De Clerck 1957.
Does your 20 minute mash beer do that? Did it finish at 1.008, and have the appropriate body and head retention with no dextrine malts? I don't think a single infusion, pils only, low hopped beer is going to do this. But I could be wrong. Standard 20/30/10 mash here.My point was actually in favor of your short mashing, even outside of the optimal beta temp, beta activity will peak at 20 minutes then quickly fall off. For instance for me to hit 1.008-9 on an all malt beer all I need is roughly 25 minutes at 62c, but for my pilsners to get to 1.006 I need 60 minutes.

It has appropriate body and head retention. I used about 10% Sacchra 50 since it was appropriate for the beer I was making.
Have a picture of it poured and finished?

I'm not saying you do it all the time, Denny, but 90 percent of all homebrewing arguments I read on many forums amount to "my method is good because the beer I make is good. End of discussion for me." Scientific research has shown that this line of reasoning started with the old Egyptians who drank beer through a straw because they didn't filter. It is as yet unclear when and how this method changed
...boils down to a decision on return on investment. And that is different for each person, I assume.
