I am getting ready for my 1st all grain and want to make sure that I have everything that I am going to need (my LHBS is 45 min away). I need to make one more trip to my LHBS and want it to be my last.
I have the simple stuff like grains and hops and yeast. I have everything ready to go for my system, except the HLT, which I am picking up from my LHBS. I have Gypsum, Calcium Chloride, Calcium Carbonate and Epsom salt to adjust the mash water (using RO/Distilled) to get the mash at 5.2 or so. I have Lactic Acid to keep the sparge runnings below 6. I also have a PH meter to keep tabs on my PH. Is there anything else I should have on hand that I may be missing for mashing and sparging?
