Low Stout pH; Below Predicted in Bru'n Water

[ScrewyBrewer]

This year I've come to rely on auto calculated mineral and acid additions after verifying the brewing results. In my opinion, the key to getting it right is in entering target water profiles that are ion balanced.

Surely you're not suggesting that there are published water profiles out there that are not balanced!

Closer to 0.1 is my understanding of many results, and better defines "pretty accurate" than 0.2 in my humble opinion. But like I said, I don't use that software so I wouldn't really know how accurate it is from personal experience either, but only based on what I've heard.

My last two beers, I targeted 5.2 and 5.5. My 5.2 hit exactly 5.2, which was the video I referenced above. My 5.5 hit 5.4. I’m happy with bru’n water.
