water profile is 5-6 gallons of RO water at beginning until we hit sparge temp at around 165-170 degrees F. Then 5-6 gallons of filtered tap water for sparge after running off to clean filtered looking water/wort. RO mash water with minerals added around 30 minutes in, depending on ph reading at that time; but 1 tsp of gypsum, 0.5 of calcium chloride and 0.5 tsp's of epsom salt.

Notes

Hit a ph of about 5.3-5.5 for roughly 30 minutes and then added the salts to bring it down around 5.2-5.4 for an additional 30 minutes before I started to run 1.75 gallons at a time on the stove top for a boil to get to mash out (roughly 160-170 deg). I collected about 9 gallons of wort and am going to end up with at least a 1.060 gravity without the addition of the corn sugar (although I'm going to add it anyway). My efficiency always improves with mash out temps and long slow sparges. Might have an IPA appeal but will probably be more in the pale ale style after a little age gets to it. Going to let the hops at 3 minutes sit in the wort for an additional 30 minutes after the boil for a little aroma. Actually hit a gravity of 1.050 with about 1.5 gallons over target; probably would have been best to boil for about 2 hours instead of 90 minutes. Going to be more of an IPA I guess.
