Kohlbach's statement about the effect of the alkali earths referred to pH at knockout. pH is observed to drop during the boil. What would a reasonable man conclude about the effect of alkali earths in the mash?

Larry Sayre, Developer of 'Mash Made Easy'
Before I released 'Mash Made Easy' I was having it Beta tested by a number of the members of this forum. One of my Beta testers requested that I tone down the effect of mineralization upon downward pH shift in the mash, as in all of his tests (of which I have no knowledge as to how many that might represent, or as to the conditions or means for such testing) the measured downward shift he experienced in the mash was at most 75% of Kolbach, and perhaps somewhat less than that.
