So I'm having tons of trouble getting my residual alkalinity in line for a stout. Either I use lots of Chalk and my Calcium skyrockets. Or I use lots of Bicarb and my Na shoots up. Despite these measures, my RA still falls far short...
So my question is this, when brewing a dark beer, should I just forget about RA, get everything else into line, and throw in some 5.2?
Thanks,
Mike
