Hello Everyone,
Researching effective ways to adjust mash pH after grains have been added. I check at 15 minutes to see pH. I have been using calcium carbonate if the pH is too low and gypsum if the pH is too high.
I have moved away from pre-treating strike water because sometimes the pH is right where I want it after mash in.
As far as sparge water I have been using phosphoric acid to get the pH 5.2-5.5.
The water I use is typically pH 6-7 depending on source to start with.
I also see there is a product called mash stabilizer that claims will automatically lower, or raise, your mash to 5.2 pH. Anyone use this and does it work?
I would appreciate any ideas or ways to ensure pH is correct during the mash in/out.
Cheers!
