I am brewing a Bohemian Pilsner this weekend. I am doing a 75% dilution of my tap water with distilled. I wanted to see what the consensus is if I either batch sparge, or fly sparge with my sparge water acidified with lactic acid. Which of the two would be best?
I typically do a fly sparge and I get an 85% efficiency. My water is a p.h. of 9, Ca 26, alkalinity as CaCo3 57, Chloride 22, Sulfate 90. I plan on adding 1.6 grams of g Gypsum and 2.8 grams of CaCl to my mash. Any thoughts?
