Notes

Treat water with 2 tsp Calcium Chloride, 1tsp Epsom, 1tsp Gypsum. Add 4ml Lactic Acid to each GF
Fire up each GF at 0700 and add grains around 0830.
With 24 minutes left G701 pH is 5.4 and G702 is 5.5 add 2ml more Lactic Acid to each. Recalibrate pH tester as reading .2 high on test at pH7 and .1 high on test pH4.
G701 with 15 mins left is pH 5.3 much better.
G702 with 19 mins left is pH 5.4 not too bad.
G701 at mash end start mashout pH5.5
G702 at mash end start mashout pH5.5
G701 collect 65Litres - boil start 1115
G702 collect 65Litres - boil start 1130
G701 Whirlpool hops at 83C ( set to 86C ) at 1300 - not holding heat so after 30 mins turn cooling back on.
G701 after boil - forgot to check...maybe same as G702 56Litres
G702 after boil 56Litres.
