Making Ed-Wort's IPA which was my favorite extract brew so I figured it would be a good comparison. Here's my planned procedure. I know the timeline might get off but how does it look otherwise? Am I forgetting anything?
And here's my Recipe.
And then there's the water. My tap water looks pretty good but I'm a little low in Calcium. I don't have a scale capable of reading .1 grams so I would have to try and convert these to teaspoons. Is it worth it, or would you recommend just using the filtered tap? I'll probably use some 5.2 just for extra precaution.
0:00 - Measure strike water and begin to heat.
Weigh and prepare grain
Setup MLT
0:30 - Preheat MLT with +10F water. Cover for 5 min then add mash water additions & mash 5.2, stir to strike temp.
0:40 - Mash in, check ph, cover, and set timer.
Measure sparge water and cover pot.
Prepare ingredients for boil.
1:20 Heat sparge water
1:40 Vorlauf, drain first runnings (FWH if any)
Add sparge water & sparge 5.2, stir well, cover for 10 min.
starting heating first runnings.

2:30 Start boil.
3:15 add chiller to boil, rehydrate dry yeast if any.
