Mash: Added 4ml LA and 8g gypsum, 6g CaCl, and 6g MgSO4 to 4gal strike water. pH got a bit too low - just below 5.0. In the future, add one or the other, not both at mash-in. Sparge pH was up near 5.3 and so was pre-boil. Hit it with another 1.5ml LA to get it down, but it didn't do too much. Still in that 5.25-5.30 range. Should be fine though. Unclear why I got relatively low mash efficiency - didn't matter too much though.
Yeast: Built up a 1.9L slurry with Cali V (WLP051). Pitched at 64*, and it took off strong overnight (12-16 hrs).
Gravity: OG was 1.060. Bumped this up to 1.064-65 with 1/2# of table sugar after about a week.
Fermentation: Took off quickly. Kept it at 64-66* for about a week. Smelled absolutely terrible and gravity was still around 1.020-22. Add the sugar after about 5 days to finish out strong. After 7 days, moved it upstairs to get into the upper 60s. Fermented around 70* for the second week.
