For base water, used Colchester/Champlain Water quality results from http://www.champlainwater.org/vertical/sites/%7B0A660058-838C-4456-B2E9-CCDA30420B07%7D/uploads/2016_Water_Quality_Report.pdf

For additions, used Martin Brungard's suggestions in Zymurgy June 2017: 0.1g/gal each of Calcium Chloride and Gypsum, a little more than the suggested 3.6mL of Lactic Acid -- went with 5mL based on Brewers Friend's estimation of pH, but measured it at a bit lower than hoped. Mash temp pH originally was 5.3, aiming for ~4.95 at mash temp, hit 4.6 at mash temp, which ~=4.95. We'll see!

Notes

Mexican Lager, basic malts and corn adjunct, double decoction for color, going to split it into separate 3 gal batches w/ and w/o Mandarina dry hops on mass. Planning a whirlpool addition with both.

Created a starter for an estimated 400B cells based on an arbitrary guess of saved slurry viability from 4/1/17. The slurry was ~25ml of dense yeast, refrigerated in a mason jar, estimated at 35B cells, stepped up to a 2L, which was then halved to save 100B for future use, and stepped up again back to 2L. Should net somewhere between 350B and 475B, so more likely to overpitch as hoped for the style.

My mash efficiency was abnormally high, perhaps due to stepping from 144 to 150 and then decocting 2 gal, ~78% efficiency, 1.057 OG. Diluting it a bit with the 2L starter
