So I am planning a triple decoction brew Hefe for Saturday. I use Bru'n water and is 100% RO water as my base and add in my minerals to build the beer. I will be using the Pilsen style to base it off of and according to Bru'n water I need to add 6oz of acid malt to bring my PH down into the acceptable range.
Now since I am brewing a decoction I was thinking of beginning with an acid rest around 95-99*. If I start with an acid rest can I skip the acid malt altogether or will I still need the malt to assist in lowering the PH.
OR If I just use the acid malt can I skip the acid rest and go straight into the protein rest around 122*?
