100mg SMB per liter of mash water a 100 mg/l dose of SMB will add 24 ppm sodium and 76 ppm of sulfur compounds.
Let water rest for 5 minutes before dough in.

Use pink foam to cut a mash cap to reduce air exposure.

Treat sparge water the same as mash water but 25mg/L SMB

Mash pH prediction 5.36.

Quick Water Requirements
Water Liters
WARNING: Boil kettle capacity (45.4 L) exceeded. Volume required: 111.83 L. Suggest reducing initial water volume to 45.4 L and adding 66.43 L sparge/top-off.  
WARNING: Mash tun capacity exceeded. Volume required: 97.76 L. Suggest reducing strike water volume to 29.89 L and adding 52.36 L sparge/top-off. 82.3
Strike water volume at mash thickness of 3.5 L/kg 82.3
Mash volume with grains 97.8
Grain absorption losses -23.5
Remaining sparge water volume (equipment estimates 54 L) 62.2
Mash Lauter Tun losses -0.9
Pre boil volume (equipment estimates 111.8 L) 120
Boil off losses -5.7
Hops absorption losses (first wort, boil, aroma) -1.1
Post boil Volume 105
Going into fermentor 105
Total: 144.4  
Equipment Profile Used: System Default
 
Notes

5-6C pitch then rise to 8C then slowly drop back to 5C when 1.5P above FG, and rack to purged keg to finish fermentation.

First attempt will be with standard sparge, second attempt will be with no-sparge for comparison.
