Notes: try stirrer much less, turn on a few times during mash. if stirring then call. is -4 in mash. if 151.

fermentation - start 68. raise ferment temp to 71 on day 4-12. reduce to 60 to day 12, crash to 40. farm yeast.

Here is the updated, complete summary including the specific gram additions for your salts.

### 1. Water Chemistry Plan (Victoria Water Profile)

**Target:** Balanced Profile (~75ppm Ca, ~75ppm Cl, ~75ppm SO4).

* **Base Water:** Pure Victoria tap water. (No Baking Soda, No Chalk).

**The Salt Additions:**

* **Mash Tun (12 Gallons):**
* **Calcium Chloride:** **8 grams**
* **Gypsum:** **6 grams**

* **Sparge / HLT (9.5 Gallons):**
* **Calcium Chloride:** **6 grams**
* **Gypsum:** **5 grams**

*(Note: This provides the perfect level of Calcium (~75ppm) for yeast health without creating "mineral" off-flavors.)*

### 2. The Mash (Step Mash Process)

* **Step 1: Dough-In at 122°F (Protein Rest)**
* Dissolve the **Mash Salts** (8g CaCl + 6g Gypsum) in water.
* Mix in grains.
* Wait 10 minutes.
* **Measure pH:** Pull a sample, **COOL it to ~68°F**, then measure.
* **Adjust pH:** Target **5.2 – 5.4**.
* *Action:* Start with **3 ml** of Lactic Acid. Re-test. You will likely need **4–6 ml total**.

* **Step 2:** Raise temp to **151°F** for 60 mins.
* **Step 3:** Mash Out / Sparge at **170°F**.

### 3. The Sparge Water Prep

* **Volume:** 9.5 Gallons in HLT.
* **Additions:** Add the **Sparge Salts** (6g CaCl + 5g Gypsum).
* **Acidify:** Add Lactic Acid immediately to the water.
* **Measure pH:** Adjust water until it reads **5.5 – 5.8**.

### 4. The Yeast Strategy (Harvest & Pitch)

* **Harvest (Next Week):** Save **2 cups (500ml)** of thick white slurry from your current batch.
* **Starter (24-48 hrs before brew):**
* **Water:** 3 Liters.
* **DME:** **300g** (Target Gravity 1.037).
* **Pitch:** Add the 2 cups of harvested slurry.

* **Brew Day:** Pitch the entire 3L starter into the 16-gallon batch.

### 5. Current Fermentation Schedule (For Reference)

* **Now:** Hold at **71°F**.
* **Day 10:** Verify gravity (~1.009).
* **Day 11:** Dump trub -> Harvest yeast.
* **Day 12:** Cold Crash to 35°F (under CO2 pressure).
* **Day 14:** Keg.
