stout recipe

Due to my local water (philly), I've shifted to using full RO water and have been having a hard time with dialing it in. One of the things that throws me off is stripping back my starting pH from the average 6.8-7.2 to about 5.7-5.8~ Recently, I tried my stout recipe (grain bill & mash below)...
