Brewing a White IPA to celebrate my son's birth.
Thinking about a white ipa with a Belgium yeast. 65 IBU and 3 oz of tropical hops through my hopback. I haven't decided yet.
I'm concerned about the pH.
Does a white IPA with a Belgium yeast need to have a lower mash pH that a typical american IPA (5.2 - 5.5), say 4.8 - 5.1?
It's no problem from me to do that, just not fully confident on the target pH.
thanks
