I did, thank you!

That's where I wanna get. I'm good with .1 or so high or low. As long as I get consistent results from the tools with adjustments needed, then I call it a win.

It's true and easy to get sucked in. I'll see if I can translate my acidulated malt difference and go from there. Maybe this will make up the difference I keep seeing. Say, 1/2 the amount of acid malt predicted for that predicted ph...and if it's consistantly close to point then that's what...

Yeah all my lighter stuff gets 3-4oz as per the spreadsheet...but I think I'm going to start dialing this back some.

Every time, never miss a beat.

Here's my recent water test from Ward Labs in April.

I have tested my water a couple of times since moving here, in different seasons. I've also tested it via Ward Labs. All of those come out about the same. My last Ward Labs test I did earlier this year actually dropped my numbers...as if they could drop much more lol. As for the grains, yeah...

Measuring with my Hach PocketPro+ PH Meter at about 72F sample temp.

That's why I'd love to hit my pH on the 1st go, or 2nd with a minor adjustment 10 minutes in. Well, until I can figure this out, I'll just get Bru N Water to predict a 5.4 mash pH when I want to get 5.2, and so on. I was hoping to dial in the tool better was all.

The past 2 brews on my new system, I've had to course correct a couple times anyway to raise the pH...by slowly adding pickling lime. I like using pickling lime because it adds calcium along the way which I'm normally low on. That said, yesterday's brew I checked the mash pH with 20 minutes...

You're right. I can plan for this. However, I can't help but think I'm entering something wrong. If it's an easy fix to narrow the gap, I'd like to do it.

Hey folks, looking for some advice to narrow the gap I'm getting when using Bru N Water with regards to pH. Yesterday is the latest example of a brew I did where Bru N Water predicted 5.5 and I got 5.3. At least it's predictable as far as reaching my target but it sure would be nice to see it...

Just an update. We are planning to do a fall pick up on this. I'm working with the owner of Carolina Brew Supply to nail down pricing and varieties. I hope to have a list here next week. The owner is a busy guy. Thanks for your patience.

I use the 15 gallon Spike kettles on this system. The table is 6 ft long. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016CIGSK4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Yes, it measures the water. You tell it how much you want to dispense and that's what it delivers. I have a valve on there to control flow rate as well. Very nice indeed. I use it in all my brewing videos on my YT channel as well if you wanted to see it in action. I picked it up off ebay a...

I'm at 1.5 qt / lb ratio.

I'm not but at the same time I'd rather not add salt if I don't need to. My Dad does watch his salt intake and partakes in my product. Looking at my water report from when I was in PA it was 32 ppm and here it's its less than 30. I realize 51 is not a big deal though. It is nice to have...

3.5 grams of Baking Soda instead of 2 grams of Pickling Lime to reach the 5.3 ph prediction (which I'm expecting to see closer to 5.4 based on past experiences). However, that puts my sodium up to 51 :(

Anyone remember this thing? I bought one years ago. I am now in need of some replacement gaskets for it and can't for the life of me remember the sizes it takes. Anyone know? It's supposed to have 4 o-rings on it...2 smaller than the other I believe.

Ok that's comforting. I just know in my last beer, a wheat beer, adding 1/4 tsp of picking lime moved my ph alot. I suspect I'll have more resistance to change with all those dark malts in there but just being cautious with past experience with the stuff.
