Notes

After 148 rest, slow-ramped mash to 168 added all sparge water at 172 to mash tun with foil pizza plate separating grain/water. Held at mash-out as indicated. Recirc'd the whole time during this process. Added 1 tsp lactic acid to sparge water as hedge against astringency. Used thick yeast slurry from recently-kegged Pre-Prohibition Lager. Fermentation in 11g dairy can.
