Hi there !
I've bought recently some DME and the seller gave me the Analysis Sheet of this Malt , too .
It's written on the Sheet :
Colour : Light
pH ( 10% Solution ) : 5.3
Acidity % as Lactic Acid : 0.95
As pH 5.3 is a suitable Wort pH , does it mean that I should always make a 10% Wort out of this Malt ?!
Although , the pH would be different after the boil .
The 0.95% Acidity worries me, too . Is it high for making an Ale ?!
Can it lead to a sour Beer ?!
Is it better for me to use some Water which has more alkalinity ?!
Although , I've heard that using alkaline Water with DME leads to a harsh tasting Beer .
