distilled water adjustment

[jimsal27]

hello
thought I would pick your brains a bit. I am getting ready to brew a Vienna lager and I am going over my water adjustment. thought I d see what you all think about it.
my grain bill
11 pds Vienna
1 pd caramunich 3
1 oz midnight wheat for color
4 gal mash 5 gal sparge

only adding salts to mash
2.7g gypsum
2.7g cacl
.8g lime

brun has me at ph 5.35

sounds right?

You should be fine. I see it mashing at between 5.41 and 5.42 pH.

 

[jimsal27]

Do you think I should try and lower the ph a bit?

 

[jimsal27]

I could cut out a bit of lime

There is nothing wrong with 5.4 as a mash pH target. It is likely the most common mash pH target there is.
