Notes	Subbed cascade for centennial. We shall see. Using Hana ph meter, we want. Ph of 5.2-5.4(145-165) instead of 5.4-5.6 (room temp) A higher ph (more basic) -> sweater beer A lower ph (more acidic) -> drier beer Measure ph. Add 1/2 ml of 88%lactic acid Stir and remeasure. It usually takes 1 or 2 ml at most for a mash of this size. Sparge water should be 5.6 to 5.8 Pre boil ph should be around 5.0-5.5. Mash ph was 5.38 with no adjustments. Mash 5.35 after 0.5 ml Sparge water at 5.83 Pre boil sg: 1054 Expecting post boil sg: 1058-1061 Need to see what boil off is. How many gallons per hour. Was 1g/hour May dilute to get more. Diluted to 1053 from 1058. Made an extra 3.5 gallons or so Efficiency was close to 90%. New Vol = (OG x Vol)/targetSG 15.87 = (58 x 14.5)/53 Dry hopping at day 9 Carboy 1 - 1.5 hallertau, 2 cascade Carboy 2 - 1.5 hallertau, 1.65 Centenial Carboy 3 (small) - 1 hallertau, 1 mosaic
