Notes

Notice there is no VIENNA malt!!! I use 1.5qts per pound at half and half RO water/tap water for the mash. I add about 1/2 tsp CaCl to help with the pH. The Sparge water is usually whatever RO water I have left and some tap water to make up the difference. The step mash and the long cold conditioning/lagering helps with the clarity. Nailed mash temp & OG. 1.047. Chilled to 63F & pitched a big starter of WLP029 with 2 vials of clarity ferm.
