Do you use Bru'n water or other software? That will give you a good prediction if where your pH will wind up and it will tell you how much acid you need to add. (I take it you didn't add any acid to this one?)
The other thing is to ditch the 5.2 stabilizer. It's useless.
So I checked my mash after the 60 minute time and my pH was 5.83. This is the first batch I have ever checked pH on. I had some of that 5.2 pH stabilizer that I put in the strike water prior to mash.
Interesting result. A pH of about 5.8 is right where that product will buffer the mash pH to. Glad to see that science still works.
It's too bad that product doesn't!
well that's great. I do have a good meter that reads out to .02 and I calibrated it while I was heating my strike water. The problem with Bru'n software is getting my water profile.
My efficiency on this batch was actually worse then previous batches. It went down to 63%. I should have just used the gypsum and seen how it ended.
