Quick question.. If I wanted to raise my mash PH. How much Baking soda do I add (roughly)? Ive been reading that its hard to dissolve Baking soda into the mash. Would you add it into the mash water before adding the grains? Maybe circulating the water? Any thoughts? thanks

Hydrometer. Yes

Even if its an ATC probe? Its a Milwaukee MW 102. Do you think it would be off by .3?

So, I also found out about my temperature issues. My Blichmann Brewmomtor gets messed up after I mash in. I calibrated it last night. I couldn't believe that my mash temp drop so quickly. so I double checked with another thermometer. It Seems that the the grains are compacting in the 1/2...

OK.. just finished my red ale. With my new PH meter. I went real detailed with the readings. I added 8 grams of Cacl2 and 4 grams of Gypsum in the mash. I used all RO water for mash water and sparge. How does it look? My PH seems very low. Should I worry? Mash time PH reading 7:50 5.05...

I guess what should my sparge water PH be?

should I add anything to the sparge water tank, to get it to the 5.8 to 6.0 range?

ok.. makes sense

where is the CO2 coming from?

Hey guys.. Getting ready to brew tomorrow with my new PH meter. I went to Walmart and filled 18 gallons of water from the Primowater machine. It suppose to be RO water. I measured my water its at 6.2. Isn't it suppose to be 7.0? since its RO water? Can this be my problem?

I ordered the PH meter for the next brew. I did get BSG Amylase Enzyme. How much should I add to my fermentor? Its a 10 gallon batch. Also, do I just add it directly to the fermentor? or should i mix it with water, than add. thanks

Good Morning , After letting the beer sit for the weekend, @ 74F. The gravity, is still at 1.021. Im thinking that I need to add some enzymes to dry this out. Then get a starter going and repitch. What do you guys think? Has anyone had good success with enzymes in the fermenter, and what brand...

Sorry guys!!! I never thought it would be a problem. Yes.. The chronic problems started happening, since i moved. Since the majority of my brewing water has been RO, mixed with house water. I didnt think it would be an issue. Also, I thought 5.2 wasn't a scam. For my next batch Im going...

Yes sir

Thanks Vikeman, for the PH meter recommendations. In terms of my water I used. I used 6 gallons RO, 3 gallons house water in the mash, then sparged with all RO Water. I don't know what is in my water. Thats why I like to dilute it with RO. Is this a bad idea? Should I go straight RO, then add...
