Is it pointless to try to adjust my mash pH without having a pH meter?Or should I have confidence in the numbers that Bru'n Water is spitting out?
I'm brewing a IIPA this weekend, 8 gal batch, 11.52 gal of mash water (I do full-volume BIAB). The calculator is telling me to add 6.7 mL of lactic acid to hit a pH of 5.4. Without lactic acid (but with the other salt additions) the pH is 5.7 according to the calculator.
My concern is that I mess up the mash pH and essentially ruin the batch which has pricey hop and grain bills.
