Notes

Recirculate sparge water to get to 65C
After that transfer to mash tun
Recirculate mash water through coil to get back to 65C
Close off tap and pump.

Adjust ph.
Run pump and collect output of pump until mash water cones thru. Return wawaterter to hlt. Recirculate mash to bring tovtarget temp.

Dough in 55C then immediately target 62C
