Water treat

evening before

30 litres of water warming up (and getting rid of chlorine)

water treatments (to get to a neutral burton..perfect for crips pale beers)

Mash

Difference to my normal brew was Richard did 12 litres to get a porridge like consistency.

He didn’t use a lid, nor the top filter plate when running the wort through

1 hour at 66

5 mins at 75 mash out

Sparge

Added warm water to sparge up to 24.8 ? litres

Boil

1 hour
