This original recipe by Randy64 in brewersfriend is BIAB. This recipe is my adaptation of that recipe for all grain.
Grain quantities are a little wonky to keep proportions the same as original recipe while adjusting for my average brewhouse efficiency.

Target water profile was pulled from original recipe on American homebrew association and salt additions are specific to adjust my tap water to the target profile.

Coming in under on the pH calculations from the original recipe (pH 5.4)
