Boil cereal mash 15min then strike main mash at 63C, rest of the pale malt with 2.5 L/kg of water. Continue boiling cereal mash and hold main mash for 30 minutes. Combine the two mashes for a rest at around 69C, have some cold and some boiling water ready to make adjustments. Hold for a fruther 20min and then mashout. Add the first lot of Saaz to the kettle before collecting the runoff and keep the kettle around 70C during sparging.
