so,
I've been doing some AG brews for a while now, praying my local water is good, and using 52 stabilizer.
Things are going good, but I'd like to start adjusting my water chemistry. I got a copy of the local water profile, and using Palmer's spreadsheet (http://howtobrew.com/section3/Palmers_Mash_RA_ver2e.xls) I have done up a profile for my next brew.
My question is, is using 52 Ph stabilizer going to change the chemistry of my water? And, will it affect the residual alkalinity that I'm trying to achieve?
Am I better staying away from 52 stabilizer and using acids to adjust my mash?
