How does run of the mill mash pH software typically handle corn and/or rice? Do you leave them out of the software altogether when using it to compute your nominal mash pH? Do they alter mash pH?
 
An excellent question. What is the DI pH of Flaked Corn, Corn Syrup, Dextrose, Rice Syrup Solids, White Rice, or Flaked Rice?

I don't know if any of these have been measured explicitly but most will add low acidity and could be considered a "base" grain with a low Lovibond (SRM) value of 1 - 2.

Perhaps asking in the science forum will get you a better answer (or a bunch of arguing about technicalities!).
