While steeping (also known as mashing),heat 1 gallon H2O into another pot to 160F for sparging. At end of steep, pour grains through a strainer into another pot. (You can use a grain sack to hold grains, but make sure you load them loosely and rinse very thoroughly)
Sparing: slowly pour the gallon of H2O over the strainer or grain bag and let drip into pot. Discard grains.

Increase the steep water?
There is a lot of grain in this kit, so I found a 1 gallon mash worked better than 3 quarts for optimum steeping action. Seems to have worked out OK.
