Let's start with the recipe.
5.75kg two row
2kg Breiss caramel pilsen
.5kg cara 47-50
28g Hallertau 4.2 Alpha 60 Min.
28g Saaz 2.5 Alpha 15 Min.
14g CJ90 12-14 alpha 1 min. steeped for 5 min.
1 Tsp. Irish Moss 15 Min.
White Labs WLP-862 yeast
Boil time 1:15
What I use is batch sparging this will give me 65%-70% efficiency. I step up the temp slowly allowing a cooler mash will leave a drier beer. The fly sparge is a slower and slightly more efficient system it is also more expensive to set up temperatures are harder to keep and a smaller grain bill to get 75%- 80% efficiency myself I can kick in an extra .5kg of grain and call it done.
Warm 12 liters strike water to 175 F put in to mash tun for five min before adding grain bill. Add cracked grain mix well making sure there are no dry clumps of grain this is done gently we are not looking for foam here. Rest for fifteen minutes.your temp should read 150F. Add 2 liters boiling water mix in let rest 15 min.Your temp should read 152F. Add 4 liters boiling water your temp should now read 155F. Let rest one hour.
