I think it depends on your water profile you are starting with. Do you know?
 
Using a calculator like the Brewers Friend calc or Bru'n Water will enable you to better assess those water and malt additions. If starting with 100% RO water, I have the feeling that you may not need the acid malt for this brew. Use a calculator to find out.
 
Thanx guys, ill be bottling this in a few days. Might start using a water calculator but I love the simplicity of the primer
