Notes

My mash tun is a 10 gallon size, and this brew has it about 35-40% full. It does very poorly at this volume, so the 2 mash 'infusion' steps that add about 1/2 gallon of boiling water are really just there to help it regulate a good mash temp over the 90 minutes.
It's really intended to be more of a single step mash @152 but these adjustments are just for my equipment.

Recommend bagging the strawberries to minimize the haziness.

All the salts/soda/acids pertain to my water profile.

When I added the strawberries (and they thawed) the gravity went up by about 3pts. My OG was more like 1.055 and 1.008 FG.
