Target Water Profile

Ca⁺²	Mg⁺²	Na⁺	Cl^-	SO₄^-2	HCO₃^-
100	5	35	60	50	265
Use the saved water profile for this: X9P5X56 However, instead of just 3.57ml of lactic acid in the mash, also include 2.5g Citric Acid to allow an additional 0.11 pH drop in the mash to a target of 5.40

Notes

Ferment at 66 degrees until about 90% complete. Then slowly raise to 69 degrees over a couple of days to finish off.

Dry hop in the primary after fermentation is complete using mesh bag. No need to do a secondary for this recipe.

Remove dry hops after 7 days, and let sit for 2 additional days.

Rack to Keg.

Changed Dry Hop from 1oz to Citra to stuff I had on hand. We'll see how this one goes.
