Notes

Warm 15 liters of water @ 60°C, steep grains and let it rest @ 55°C for 30'. Warm to 65°C and rest for 45', in the meanwhile bring 20 liters of water to 80°C, then bring wort to 77°C for mashout. Move wort to filter and let it rest for few minutes to let grains fall on the bottom. Start collecting wort and put back the very first you collect until it's clear. Put sparging water to cover grains without let them exposed to air. Collect 28 liters of liquor (SG 1043). Bring wort to a boil and add hops (in hop bag), after 45' add aroma hops (in hop bag) and wort chiller. After 15' turn fire off and start to chill the wort. Take away wort chiller and hop bags and let wort rest for 15' (covered) then move to fermentor 23 liters @ 1048. Pitch yeast @ 24°C and when fermentation starts keep it around 18 - 22 °C. Bottle and prime. Age at least 4 weeks.
