I have been searching wide and far but have not been able to locate specific instruction on how to conduct a test mash to determine what my mash pH would be for a specific brew session and how to adjust it.
I have been using the recommendations in the "Brewing Water Chemistry Primer" (Cutting the salt additions in half as recommended until the primer is updated) to treat RO water for my brews.
I am going to purchase a pH meter but I want to understand the process of testing and adjusting the mash before invest in the meter.
I batch sparge using an Igloo cooler as my MLT.
I would appreciate any instruction, links to instruction, etc that anyone could provide.
Also, I realize I can use software to determine what the mash pH likely is and how to adjust. I want to understand the process of actually measuring the mash and then adjusting it as needed and/or conducting a test mash to measure and make adjustments.
Thank you
