Special Instructions
1.Strike water volume (liters) = 1.5 x grain weight = 21 liters = 5.5 gallons
2.Pre-heat mash tun w/ 140 degree water up to level of mash
3.Goal strike water temp = (.2/R)(T2-T1) T2 = (0.2/1.5)(154-70) 154 =~165 ~2 for additional loss
4.Actual strike water temp = 168
5.Strike water treatment (added during transfer into mash tun)= 1/2 tsp. CaCl (almost 1 gram) AND 1 tsp. Lactic Acid (@88%)
6.PH goal = 5.1-5.3 (ok between 5.1-5.5)
7.PH goal = 5.17
8.Mash Temp = 153 (tested 15 mins into mash) goal was 154
9.Sparge water (boil will be 90 mins. Will lose 1 gal per hour of boil. Will get 1/2 volume out of vol put into Mash)
