I'm almost ready to test my HLT but I've found mixed results to what temp to set it at?
 
I mash out at around 75° for 10 mins and sparge at around 75°
 
Mash out at 75 but heat sparge water to 80 and adjust pH to 4.4. The sparge water sits on top of the mash for a while before it runs through so it could be even warmer.
 
Reading a good book at the moment, I am more into mechanical engineering and this is written by a biochemist so leaving me all over the place regarding the best practices in brewing, but he does suggest 73 to 75 C and a 60 to 90 minute sparge.
