2020.07.04: Used brita filtered water. Mashed 16 lb grain bill in 2 goes of 8 lb each. Really quite easy. Did a thin mash of 4.5 gallons water to 8 lb grain. First mash fell from 155 to 150 in the hour. Second mash fell from 155 to 152 in the hour.Added 7 g chalk, 2 g calcium chloride, and 1 g gypsum to each mash to adjust ph. The Ca/Cl/SO4 profile should be ~140/60/45 with 260 ppm HCO. This should get me a mash pH right at 5.2. Collected lots of sweet wort. Probably a bit more than 8 gallons. ...

Will target a few degrees higher than desired next time.Collected full 8 gallons of mash and sparge. ...
