Sorry if this is a repeated question, but I couldn't find it. I have gotten my strike water chemistry down to hit target mash PH using water report and ez spreadsheet. Question is, what am I doing if my additions are to strike water only while sparge water stays at it's original 8.3 ph? If I adjust spreadsheet additions to add to sparge as well as strike water to balance in spreadsheet, I don't hit target ph in mash. How critical is it to bring (fly) sparge water ph down?
