I want to further my all grain chops by getting into ph and adjusting it if necessary. However, I am confused as to when/how you adjust the mash.
Say I do my 60 minute mash, take a ph reading and the mash is too alkaline or acidic for the profile of that kind of beer. Is this the point where I take the different salts and add them to the mash, re-stir the mash and take another reading? Repeat until the ph is correct?
Or, do you want your water profile to be correct BEFORE adding your strike water to the mash?
Thanks!
