Notes

In mash (right after hitting mash temp)
Alpha Amylase (BioFerm LC) - Rate of .8ml/kg mash = 750kg mash = 600g
Bioglucanase TX - Rate of .15ml/kg mash = 750kg mash = 112.5g

End of Primary (add at primary ferm temp, crash next day)
Alpha Amylase (BioFerm LC) - Rate of 2g/HL =35hl Fermenting = 70ml

Flex at 60min - 200g (6g per HL)

Mash pH target after water back - 5.05 - 5.25

Add Gypsum to mash - v1=100g

Flex
50g per 10hl for 10ibu
ex. 30hl batch (after dilution) = 150g
