+==== Mash water ====
+Mashed with 21.5L for an 8.5kg and a 7.75kg grain bill.  Mash was very thick.  Recirculated very slowly, keeping the liquid gauge at about 18L.  There is space for plenty more grain (top mash basket lid can slide up).  There is theoretically space for plenty more water, but it's unclear if it would all sit over the grain.  I would try the same grain bill with 24L, recirculating while mashing in to get plenty of water above the grain before setting the top lid on.  Maybe recirculate the whole thing faster, so there's more liquid above than below.
