    SMaSH Mosaic - first attempt

    Attempting a SMaSH Mosaic BIAB, and want to double check the inputs. Targeting a small batch, with about 2.8 gallons into the fermenter. According to the recipe builder, I should be at a 6.8% ABV assuming 50% efficiency using 9.1 lbs of Weyermann Pilsner. This amount seems really high, since...

    Experience with Mash Stabilizer 5.2? Or reducing pH with lactic acid?

    I'm an experienced brewer who now has done about a dozen or so all-grain Brew In A Bag (BIAB) batches with decent results using a known local municipal water source (Columbus, Ohio).
