Notes

After the boil, chill the wort to slightly below fermentation temperature, about 60°F (16°C). Aerate the wort with pure oxygen or filtered air and pitch the yeast. Ferment at 60°F (16°C) for one week, then allow temperature to free rise to 70°F (21°C). Upon completion of fermentation, add dry hops and wait 2–3 days. Crash the beer to 35°F (2°C), then bottle or keg and carbonate to approximately 2.5 volumes of CO2.

Started with 17L water, but used slighty more to clean off sides of brewpot, so likely had a bit more than 17.3 or so.

Ran through sparge 10L and at the end had about 24L. Boiled for 75 mins and filled the fermenter with probably 18L (perhaps slightly less). Maybe next time use just a bit more in the mash?

At end we left 700mL in the brewpot but probably could have done better - next time aim for 500mL or less.
