I'm brand new to AG and my first batch will be as low tech and simple (read: lazy and easy for my poor mind to comprehend) as possible.
I think I have a pretty good idea of what I need to do.
From what I understand, your pH during mash should be around 5.2. I don't see a lot of discussion here about playing with pH though - is it because people don't worry about it? ... or because it absolutely must be done and so is taken for granted?
My municipal water runs around pH 8 last I checked, and is well buffered (flows from the "chalky rockies" to my tap...) .... this seems like a recipe for a headache if I try to alter it.
Thanks,
Keegan
