Notes

Grains added at about 40 degrees as water was heating, for mini acid and protien fly bys!
Single decoction mash used - 67 c Sach rest for full body for 60 mins, then about 6litres of grain with some wort removed for boiling. Decoction brought to boil, whilst main wort temperature raised for mash out slowly. Mash out at 75 c.

Started with 22.5 litres of water, after sparge there was about 24 / 25 litres, after 90 min boil and decoction, I was left with only about 18 litres and had to liquor back to get to desired SG and volume of 1.053 /54.

Next time start boil with more water.
