3. Hold the mash at 67 °C ( 152 °F ) until enzymatic conversion is complete for around 45 minutes to 1 hour.
4. Infuse the mash with near boiling water while stirring or with a recirculating mash system raise the temperature to mash out at 76 °C (168 °F). Mash out for 10 minutes.
5. Fly sparge slowly with 14 Litres of 76 °C (168 °F ) water, collecting wort until the pre-boil kettle volume is around 25 L (6.5 gallons).

10. At flameout, cool wort to 19°C (67 °F ), decant starter or open Gold Pitch and pitch liquid Yeast or 2 x sachets of dry yeast into pre oxygenated wort.
11. Over the course of the fermentation, ramp the temperature slowly up to 22°C (72 °F ) to ensure full attenuation.
