Aside from affecting pH, does the product 5.2 Stabilizer affect the mineral content of the water to which it is added? For example, are the Calcium, magnesium, and sulphate levels altered after adding the 5.2 buffer?
As per Five Star;
"... The 5.2 stabilizer is a blend of two salts. They are neutralized versions of phosphoric acid. They are monosodium phosphate (Na H2 PO4) and disodium phosphate (Na2HPO4) in the right ratio they will form a buffer that locks the pH at 5.2..."
For anyone here that doesn't know and wants to. Five Star asserts that the mineral composition of the solution water will not change but, many of the published HB Guru's emphaticalluy warn that too much of the slats will alter the flavor of the water and or beer.
