So should I be aiming for a 5.5 room temp mash? Perhaps bru n water has this correction available and I missed it?

Thank you for the reply.According to bru n water,I would need 31.74 ml of 10% Phosphoric acid to bring my ph to 5.26 from 5.6.I understand its flavor neutral but is that a lot? Maybe I entered it wrong?

Plan on brewing an IPA next weekend,first time messing with salts.How does fhis profile look? Any critique,be it good or bad,is appreciated.All readings are ppm. Calcium 104- magnesium25 sodium 5 sulfate 240 chloride 44

Been brewing some decent beers for a while now,but would like to take my brewing to the next level.I brew with well water running through a faucet filter.Got my Ward results back. PH 6.8 Total dissolved solids ppm 90 Electrical conductivity 0.15 Cations/Anions 1.6/1.4...

New to the water game.I want to brew an IPA next weekend and ran the numbers through bru n water with a predicted mash ph of 5.83. Which method would be the best way to bring my ph down to 5.2? Thanks in advance.

Thank you for the reply.Yes,I do mean that the pump has stopped working completely.No power is getting to it,it makes no noise at all. I have stripped the pump,thinking that it was clogged,it was not,actually,it was surprisingly clean. Looked new inside. I appreciate the pump info and links,I...

After only a couple of dozen brews on my Grainfather the pump has given up the ghost. I'm looking to upgrade to a better pump,I have used a Chugger before amd could easily hook that up in place of the stock pump but I would like an aftermarket pump that will fit into the Grainfather housing as...

The Food lion water that I used was labeled as "Purified drinking water". I do regularly calibrate my Ph meter,although it is a $20 cheapo. I brew in a Grainfather,so I recirculate the mash and sparge. I have only taken mash ph readings but perhaps I will take readings pre and post boil as you...

Awesome!! Thanks for all the info,I greatly appreciate it. My brewing process is really solid,now I am going to focus on my water. I brew good beer,but would like to progress to great beer. Thanks again.

I typically brew with filtered well water. For this brew I used Food lion water as I figured it would be softer than my water.I have ordered a Water report through Ward as I plan on spending some time getting my water right. I mashed at 122F for 20 min,149 F for 30min,158F for 30 min then mashed...

I assume you get your calculations from Beersmith or something similar.

8244 + 5gallons of Munich Helles =8249

Hey guys,quick question regarding adjusting mash ph with the Grainfather. Curious as to your method of adding gypsum or any other additions to raise/lower mash PH.Seems like you will have to remove top plate,add additions,stir and then replace top plate. Or can you simply dump additions in above...

Grain bill was 8.5lbs German Pils and 1lb Munich1.Had a target SG of 1.051,ended up with 1.044 for an efficiency of 69%. I typically get 80% on my system. I did a step mash,but my ph was high,6.2.I'm thinking the high ph affected conversion.How will this affect final product?

Sounds delicious!! Good luck.

I'm 15 mins into my Alpha Sacch rest on a Munich Helles.

Yes Sir,will do.

Roger that. I will drop MM down to 1lb,and just run that with the Pils. Thanks for your advice,this will be my first Helles.Prost.

I have CaraMunich on hand,no CaraHell.Would the CM be a better alternative than CP? 8lbs German Pils,1.25lb Munich1 is where I'm at right now.
