Notes

For BIAB double crush grains on fine.

Add salts to Distilled water 7.69 gallons (Strike water)
When adding 10% phosphoric acid to Strike water start with 1/2 estimated volume to correct pH to 5.2. In this case 44/2=22 ml. Hold on adding any more acid calculated until you add grains to start mash.

Strike water volume 7.69 gallons. Heat H2O to 158 degrees F for predicted final mash temp of 152 degrees F.

MASH TIME 60 minute countdown clock
Recheck pH and if necessary add acid to pH of 5.2
