For Mash, in addition to normal 17L, I put in 0.6L to clean off sides.

Also added 1.5L of Alpina high sodium water in the sparge.

After doing a good job sparging and really draining the grains I had slightly less than 24. I topped up around another 0.5L of Alpina to get above 24.

This increases the So4 to about 100 rather than 62.5, which I would have without any water addition. But we're still short of the 150 the water profile would call for.

Notes

This beer Christian and I were planning to brew together, but he wasn't available so I did my first brewday alone. It went great.

Actual reciple: After the boil, chill the wort to slightly below fermentation temperature, about 60°F (16°C). Aerate the wort with pure oxygen or filtered air and pitch the yeast. Ferment at 60°F (16°C) for one week, then allow temperature to free rise to 70°F (21°C). Upon completion of fermentation, add dry hops and wait 2–3 days. Crash the beer to 35°F (2°C), then bottle or keg and carbonate to approximately 2.5 volumes of CO2.

My bottle conditioning: Assumed 18L of beer; to reach 2.35 or so volumes of CO2, used 120g of corn sugar.
