5.5-6 gallons of Filtered tap water for sparge; added 2.5 tsp's of lactic acid to get sparge water down to ph of 5.89. 5 gallons of RO water with dough-in at around 163 degrees F; mashing at a pretty low temp for IPA style, but like drier IPA anyway. ph of 5.28 at 15 minutes in without salts added yet. Going to wait until end of boil and add 2 tsp's of gypsum, 0.5 tsp's of epsom, and 0.5 tsp's of calcium chloride to be within the desired range.
