  Recently did another batch, hit my numbers. My wife likes it quite a bit, but it lacks the
  darkness/thickness from the real deal. Close, but not quite there. I think the spices are a bit
  strong in my ...

  I have not. If you have a wheat recipe that goes well with pineapple though I would figure that
  would be a good base. Figure Citra might not be the right hops, though.

  Why such a thick mash at 1 qt/lb? With Kai's findings, I've moved to 1.5 qt/lb as my typical.
  Is your mash tun too small?19lb of grain absorb 2.375 gallons. At 1.5qt/lb I am mashing with
  7.125 gallons...

  OK, I used the "EZ Water Calculator", which estimated my pH to be 5.6; the "Kaiser Water
  Calculator" says 5.3 (87% roast); however, my mash says 4.7! That is with pulling a few drops
