Would have been nice to know what our mash pH was. Also mash tun temp dropped to 151F during the sparge. Next time we need to have strike water temp to about 185 to account for heat loss and transfer during the trickle. Need to also get a barbed end for the wort in hose. This should reduce the hot side aeration we were seeing with just dropping the hose in. Oh and next time I need to bring a pH probe. Would have been nice to know what our mash pH was.

Lesson learned. So when doughing in and you have to remove the sparge rig, make sure you turn the auto temp controller off for the MLT or you may spray water everywhere. Lesson learned.

Sorry I missed you at Max's rob, but the configuration is good. A couple of more 90 minute IPA's and I won't be able to type. Looking foward to this weekend. I'll bring stuff for lunch. CU there.
