Notes
Added 3 ml 85% phosphoric acid to the mash to get to measured PH 5.1 at roughly 125 degrees.
Added 1 ml 85% phosphoric to the sparge water to get to measured PH 5.1 at around 125 degrees.
Pre boil 1.034 PH 5.3
Went to add the 60 min addition and it was not boiling. The burner blew out somehow. Took 30 min to get from 200 to 212. Added the 60 min addition once it was boiling again.
At the end of the boil- the ferm wasn't clean. Sat for 35 min while I got everything prepped.
