Thanks Jon, that was just the schedule in Ron Price's (Bluesman) recipe on the wiki here. I ran with it. Only snafu all day was adding my lactic to the mash late: just forgot it until 40 minutes in. I added it then and hit my numbers well and volume dead on, so we will see. I had targeted 5.2

IMO, mash PH in the 5.3 range is very good, and then I add lactic to sparge water to get 5.1-5.2 into the kettle for pils.

My brew day on saturday  went well for 6g or German pilsner, my first pilsner. Target OG was 1.051, hit 1.052 with my mill set at .032, almost scared Denny. Split in half: half with 830 and half with 833. 830 showed activity much earlier, not sure if that's common or not. It was active with some Krausen  forming and airlock activity at 12 hours from pitching active high Krausen 1.25L starter. 24 hours later and saw same activity with the 833, may have been sooner, but I was sleeping, lol. Really looking forward to trying these when they are done. Hallertau  Mittlefrueh at 60, 1 and 0 on a 90 minute boil. Mashed in at 149+, a little lower than target of 151 but I'll take it. Fingers crossed and rdwhahbing for a while

looks good. mash temp is good also. i will mash mine at 150-152F (yeast dependant) and hit 1.009-1.010 FG. IME, 830  and 838 is faster start than 833 and also 835, so no woirries there.

Yes, with all RO, I have not been treating sparge with any acid, just the salts that Bru'NWater gives me. Still learning water treatment really
