1- heat 23l of strike water to 78*c.

—grain bill to 18*c.<br />

6-start draining mash tun to bottom rack/kettle.

—keep 1 cm water over grain then&gt;<br />

7-start sparging sprinkler with 70*c water until 23L volume is reached. Check gravity.
8-bring to boil.

—watch for hot break. Turn down heat to get through it.<br />

9-add hops. Boil for 60mins.
10- wash and place wort chiller in kettle from 45mins.
11-Run iced water through chiller until pitching temperature (18c).
12-transfer slowly to sterile fermenter.
13- start yeast in 1 cup starter mix @ 25c in sterile cup. Cover with sterile foil for 15 mins.
14- pitch and set airlock with sterile liquid.
