Added 2 tsp gypsum. Added 3/4 tsp citric acid, but couldn't bring pH below 6.6 (it seemed to be coming down, but measured higher after the lat 1/2 tsp of citric acid. I got antsy and wanted to get the RIMS started so I gave up. I think the pH meter needs calibrating or something.
RIMS measured 155', but glass thermometer measured 160'. Not sure what is happening. I trust the RIMS thermometer, though.
