I am doing my first no sparge today. Mashing in my 10 gallon cooler with 8.4 gallons water and about 10 pounds of grain. It's an English ale that is golden promise with about 11% 30L crystal, 3% 85L crystal, 3% 350L chocolate.
Bru'n water had me add 4 oz of Acid Malt to get the pH of 5.4 (my water is very soft). It seemed a bit much. Anyways my actual mash pH ended up being 5.08.
Has anyone else had this issue? I am guessing it is the huge amount of mash water that is the difference. I've never had any other issue with Bru'n water. I've made light beers, dark beers, whatever, and Bru'n water has always been within 0.1 pH of my measured.
