Notes

I can’t quite put my finger on what went wrong during brew day. I was expecting a BHE of 69% or higher but ended up closer to 54%. This was my first time doing the Ferric acid rest at 110°. I did add the water salts before doughing in. Once recirculating at 150° for several minutes, I then checked PH and added a teaspoon of lactic acid. Upon rechecking the PH I realized I can no longer trust the ph meter, even after calibrating on brew day. For what it’s worth I got an initial reading of 5.5 then I got higher reading even after the one teaspoon of lactic acid. I did keep the element at only 50% but the boil didn’t seem too weak. I ended up at roughly 13 gallon post boil so I must not have had any where near the boil off I would expect.
