Make yeast starter: Partial Mash: Soak ground grains in hot tap water (95-100 F°, just enough water to completely soak it) for 15 minutes (for soft water add 1/2 teaspoon of gypsum). Add 1 quart of boiling water to raise to 125-135 F° -- hold for 30 minutes. Raise to 150-152 F° with high heat, stir constantly. Remove kettle and wrap with blankets to hold temperature for 45 minutes. Collect sweet wort by pouring through colander. Pour grain back into kettle and add 1 gallon of 165 F° water. Steep for 15 minutes before passing through colander again. Discard grain. Collect sweet wort by passing through stainless steel sieve.
