got a 75% efficiency which was suppose to be 65% but I don't know. Undercrushed a little and must have got a better sparge bed?

Notes

used about 7.5-8.5 gallons of RO for mash/dough in and hit a ph of 5.00 (corrected at 5.30) and didn't add the salts until 60 minutes in. 2 tsp's of calcium carbonate, 1 tsp of gypsum, 1 tsp of epsom salt and 1 tsp of baking soda. after rechecking the ph, or about the time I added the additional 3.5-2.5 gallons of RO water to the mash (boiled and blended), the ph went up to 5.3 (5.6 corrected). Of course, the rest of the sparge water came from filtered tap water with 1/4 tab of campden tab added and lactic acid until I got the 6 gallons of water down to <6 ph for sparge at 165-175 F. I also boiled up an additional 2+ gallons of RO water and blended to the wort during mash to gently get to the mash temp for a total of 18+ gallons for the wort. I also did the boiling the wort thing as always do to bring up the mash out temp. I try not to heat it up on the burner so that I don't scorch the grain bed, so I blend like a turbid mash.
