Brew day 9/6/18. Mashed 146F for 1 hour; 152F for 30 minutes. 5.5 gallons strike water at 160F wasn't hot enough to initially get it to 148 like I hoped. Even after adding a few tsp lactic acid to account for my alkaline water, mash pH was a bit high at 5.8, though my pH meter could be off (even calibrated, it's overdue to be replaced). 2 gallons at 180F brought mash up to 152. Batch sparged after vorlaufing. Started the boil with 5.75 gallons. Boiled 1 hour and 45 minutes (boiled 1lb. D-180 and 10oz. Blackstrap Molasses, along with some wort, in a side pot, then added it to the main kettle). After losses (vapor, hops, dead space, etc.), I ended up with 4.4 gallons in the primary. OG was 1.081. Pitched a sachet of rehydrated Abbaye and a pouch of Imperial Monastic (200 bil cells).
