I am using BeerSmith3 and recently started working with the water profiles as I went from using store-bought drinking water for brewing to Distilled/treated water (based on profile).
With that said, I just saw the "brew steps" button on BS3 (I don't usually use this option as I learned without using BS). When I clicked the button, I noticed it had a Acid addition to adjust the pH (4.3ml) if I recall.
Where does BS3 come up with this quantity? I have yet to adjust my pH and would like to, but it has always confused me (still doing research). I thought it was based on the water used and water profile selected (because I read that the water profile can affect pH), but when I deleted the water information out of BS3, the 4.3ml of acid stayed there.
Very confusing...hopefully someone can shed some light on the BS3 calculation.
