My brother wants to brew the W10 Pitch Black CDA by Widmer Brewing. I've never done this one before but he always asks me to put together the recipe and figure out the water additions. When I put the this recipe in Brewfather, the ph is already 5.22 without adding anything at all to RO water. Widmer Brewing's W-10 Pitch Black IPA clone - Brew Your Own
I've never brewed a beer without adding anything. However, when I choose the target in Brewfather as CDA, it drops it down to 5.15 which I'm fearful will make this an acrid beer as it ages.
Suggestions? Maybe add a bit of baking soda to bring it up to 5.35 or so?
