Congrats! Now post readable screenshots of each Bru N Water spreadsheet tab you've filled in.

Being enamored with your own version of genius is ok, just have to remember we all sit on the shoulders of giants. If you're ok with the money you've spent and you enjoy your process and the resulting beer, more power to you. I think most folks in this thread would enjoy seeing pictures of the...

The Bru N Water estimate was high because it calculates all of the chalk and all of the lime as contributing to alkalinity in the mash. In reality, the chalk is *not* contributing to the mash alkalinity (or very little), therefore the lime addition alone was sufficient to correct the pH. DON'T...

The recipe most likely changes over time, with ingredient availability. Several variations online, heres one with comments from the brewer (circa, 2012): https://www.homebrewtalk.com/threads/flyng-dog-brewery-snake-dog-ipa-recipe.344649/ Here's how I'd make it: @ 75% Mash Efficiency 93%...

You've already been told, stop using chalk. No chalk. It doesn't react in a timely manner for use in a mash.

pH changes over time and takes some time to settle down. Other than the ping pong effect (oops too much acid... oops too much lime... etc...) you might get, there's nothing wrong with it, just don't keep adjusting it to correct. Correct once and you're done. Honestly, Bru N Water, Mash Made...

High quality stainless shouldn't rust even when cut, no special procedures needed, but it doesn't hurt to: 1.) Use a sharp cutting tool with lubricant/coolant 2.) Remove any debri from the cut to prevent trapping moisture 3.) Clean the cut and surrounding area w/ an acid solution like...

The requested profile is unbalanced. The first step is to balance the anions and cations in the requested profile. There are different ways to do this depending on which ions you want to increase or decrease, e.g.: Ca: 83 ppm Mg: 10 ppm Na: 20 ppm Cl: 85 ppm SO4: 43 ppm HCO3: 150 ppm For...

Fanning mills do remove most of the debri but some still sneaks through. Not quite as clean as the steeped malt. But yeah, as I stated and you seem to already know, it's no big deal.

Without cereal mashing the un-malted grains your efficiency will be low. Assuming you milled (crushed) each grain? Raw unmalted wheat is very hard to mill (and hard on the mill!), especially a small homebrew mill. Did you strain the mash using a BIAB, or some type of cooler mash tun? 1.045...

You'll need a 4 prong to 3 prong adapter. These normally have a ground wire attached that you either plug into the ground of a nearby outlet or use an extension cord plugged into a nearby outlet and the ground wire from the adapter goes into the ground of the extension cord. Here's an example...

Chalk or CaCO3 doesn't readily dissolve in water, in a timely manner, without some help from CO2. (i.e. Chalk takes too long to dissolve in mash water without pre-dissolving it by bubbling CO2 through the solution.) Sodium Bicarbonate (baking soda) (1st choice) or Calcium Hydroxide, (pickling...
