Hey Guys, I am brewing a robust porter this weekend and I have adjusted my water profile to be similar to London's water. My question comes from the estimated pH value. Below are the values calculated from Brun Water. My question is my estimated room temperature mash pH is 5.6 which is OK - but is this the actual pH value my mash will be at when mashing at 152 degrees F? or will it be higher or lower? should i had some latic acid to lower the pH or are these values acceptable?
Net Water Alkalinity(mEq/L) = 1.7
Total Mash Acidity (mEq/L) = 2.6
Net Mash Acidity(mEq/L) = 1.0
Estimated Room Temperature Mash pH = 5.6
Net Water Alkalinity(mEq/L) = 1.7
Total Mash Acidity (mEq/L) = 2.6
Net Mash Acidity(mEq/L) = 1.0
Estimated Room Temperature Mash pH = 5.6
