@cire, thanks. If time and as brew day allows, i try and check the pH both during mash, sparge and during boil. I add calcium and other salts to match the target water profile. I feel like my salt additions are off in the calculator if the software is suggesting that based on my salt...

I use Brewfather (BF) for building and tracking recipes on brew day and during fermentation. I have entered my water profile, which is tested RO water with zero minerals. Based on the water profile, BF consistently suggests that I need to add upwards of 6 ml lactic acid (depending on the grain...
