I'm still sparging, the strainer came off in the mash tun :x . I'm down to a steady trickle with the mash itself acting as strainer. Only taken an hour to get 12 L. Never mind, you live & you learn :whistle:
On a plus point, new mash tun didn't lose any temperature in 90 minutes :party:

Most likely, I don't want it to be too strong, more like a "session beer" :thumb:
