Hey out there in beer world... I'm planning on doing my first decoction mash soon and was wondering about something.
I normally use tap water for my brews (public city water). I normally add one Camden tablet and one tablespoon of 5.2 ph adjuster to my water for mashing and sparking. (Not sure if I should do this for my sparge water or not in reference to the 5.2, any opinions on this are welcome too)
Since I will be doughing in at around 90 degrees and doing an acid rest, should I forget about the 5.2, or should I still use it?
Also, do Camden tablets effect ph in anyway? I've never done any kind if tests for ph. I blindly use 5.2 due to the fact that I have never had a problem with any of my mashes, I usually hit to within three points of my target gravity (.003) With about 40 AG brews.
Any thoughts are welcome!
