Typically I add 6ml of 88% Lactic Acid to bring to my target mash pH of 5.3. Mash pH came out a little higher than expected, at 5.55, but ez water calculated this approximately after the fact. I have also saved a full water treatment profile to target a Pale Ale profile.

Notes

I used 2 packets of Safale us-05 and hydrated in 100F water. 64F fermentation caused fermentation to start a little slower.

Beer is named Raindrop SMaSH because, when I was chillings the wort, it started to rain slightly and a few raindrops got in the brew. Hoping it's not infected :]

UPDATE - Cold crashed 2 weeks after brewing. FG was 1.024, coming out to 5.64% ABV, much lower than I expected :/ not quite sure why. I started fermentation at 64, and then after a week and a half cranked it up to about 68 and then 70 to assure complete attenuation, but this obviously didn't happen. Starting at 64 was the only thing I really did different this time so I will start higher (as I usually do - around 68-70) next time,
