I’m finally jumping into water chemistry after 12 years of Brewing and playing with Bru’n water after getting my tap water report.
On the Sparge acidification tab , It’s telling me to acidify my Sparge water but I’ve read online when batch sparging, some people don’t. Says 26ml of 10% phosphoric acid which should be below taste threshold ( 71ppm phosphate ). My water pH is 8.3 and my starting water alkalinity is 137. I’m just wondering what you all do? Acidify or not for batch sparging? Thanks.
