how did you end up carbing your bottle?

i got a cheap ass ph meter, gonna try this again following the directions from your link.

I was brewing a pale ale in the moring BIAB style and added my salts and 4.6ml of lactic acid before doughing in. so right before mash out i checked my ph and it was at 5.3 @ 150f. Did my mash out, boiled for 90 min. then cooled it down to ferment. so i did another ph reading and it was 6.0 @...

i probably brew about once or twice every 2 weeks i have an electric system so it takes 3 to 4 hours with cleanup.

i may be able to help, depending on the style your trying to get into. im off of the 55 and 91

Nice. Thanks man. I'll give this a shot

i want the FG to hit somewhere around 1.010 and the color as light as i can get it, thats why im using Pilsner as the base malt. i would like a little bit of sweetness so it doesnt taste like hop water. what about i change it to: 90% Pilsner 5% Crystal 10 5% Rolled Oats (for body and to keep...
