Want to adjust 10 gallons, to TastyMcd's profile, aka, Moshers Ideal Pale Ale.
Ca-110ppm, Mg-18ppm, Na-17ppm, SO4-350ppm, Cl-50ppm.
In step one you see my water, it pretty soft water.
Don't want to split salts between Mash and Sparge water.
AS you can see i added 10 gallon in "Mash" spot, left sparge empty. Grains are
12# 2-row
1# Cry/80L
.5# Carapills
Is this fine or am i over thinking this, also 5 ml of lactic acid for 10 gallons,good or bad..
THe screen shot blew shows the outcome

With "zero" lactic acid added,Ph according to EZ-3.0 would be "5.51"
Add 5ml of acid would get ph to 5.22. That is the ph i should be shooting for,Right.
I would be adding it to the total 10 gallons of water. For Mash and Sparge
 
The mash pH you want is 5.4 - 5.6 at room temp. Its shown on the EZWater 3.0 spreadsheet above.
