I want to dial in my mash ph on my next brew. I've loaded my recipe and water profile into Brun but I want to make sure the acid addition looks correct. I'm brewing a 2.75 gallon batch IPA. Brun is calling for 9 mL of 10% phosphoric acid into the mash. This moves the PH from 5.7 to 5.5. I'll probably go lower than 5.5 but I want to make sure I'm on the right track. I've played around with water profiles before and it seems higher than what I have seen in the past but I'm not really sure. Does this look about right? See attached.

Thanks in advance for the help!!

Do you have a screen shot of the Mash Acidification sheet? I usually prefer acid malt but I've used lactic acid on occasion. Assuming your grains are entered correctly and your mash, batch and sparge volumes are correct, you should be good.
