Notes

Keep it simple,

However, if you want to go more technical and have the means, do a triple step mash:

It looks like this:

55C - Protein Rest - 15 mins (strike water temp: approx. 62C)
63C - Beta Amylase Rest - 45 mins
71C - Alpha Amylase Rest - 20 mins
77C - Mash out (denature enzyme activity)

Optimum Target pH: 5.4
Working pH range: 5.2 - 5.6

The source water here is about 7.9pH, so you'll hit your mash pH of about 5.45ish with the malt and salt additions. No acid required!
