Sparging
After mashing, sparge the grains with hot water (around 75°C or 167°F) until you collect around 4 liters of wort.

Cooling
After boiling, cool the wort quickly to around 20°C (68°F) using a wort chiller or an ice bath.

Fermentation
Transfer the cooled wort to a fermentation vessel. Pitch the yeast and seal the vessel with an airlock. Ferment for about 1-2 weeks at 18-22°C (64-72°F).
