Notes

Start with RO water. Treat water to hit mash pH of 5.2 - 5.4. Use calcium chloride for added calcium in lieu of gypsum. (Gordon suggests 1 tsp for mash water)

After fermentation is complete raise temp to 60 degrees over several days to finish beer out and provide a diacytel rest. Then transfer to secondary purged of oxygen and lager for 4-6 weeks.
