Daz, all i do is stepped mashes. Not using a burner apart from the boil :)
Boiling water should do the trick for 3 steps. I drain the first runnings, then sparge with a mashout.

Tangent's got it, use a mash out/sparge step, will work for most profiles depending upon the capacity of your tun and mash in liquor to grist ratio. Used to do this before direct heat, now HERMS.

Was contemplating something similar Duff. I've got a packet of Southern Cross flowers that I've been wondering what do do with. :D

All the blurbs on this this hop say it can be used in similar applications to Euro Lager hops. We shall see.

Warren -
 
Duff....i made one exactly the same not too long ago. Its in the recipe section. I used Nottingham as I was in a hurry to get some beer in a keg. S189 wouldve been my second choice if I had more time.

It would be good to find out how that one tastes after a few weeks GH. I made two with flaked rice because I couldn't get flaked maize. A very clean flavour but often wondered what it would be like with maize.
 
First brew in a while.
I have had this yeast since early this year so it is time to try it out.
