      Hi Steve
      Not criticizing you one little bit, more the writers of that recipe you posted.
      I'm a bit of a Brains freak having lived in Cardiff for many years when I grew my beer gland in the 1970s and the recipe as posted won't get you anywhere near. For a start, they wouldn't use sugar or glucose syrup - and if BIAB you wouldn't need torrified wheat (which often gets added to recipes to avoid stuck mashes)
      
      What you are after is more like Brains SA - a description from their website follows -...

      Pasturization Levels are a function of heat and time. You want to maximize the time your wort spends at pasteurizing levels for as long as possible. I'm not sure what the pasteurization threshold temp is, but I imagine after the first hour you could slow chill in a pool or bath etc with no I'll effects
