I'm doing my first attempt at water adjustments. I used brun water to calculate my additions based on my city water report.
Before mash-in the ph of my water measured 5.1. I was expecting 5.46. Is that a correct assumption? Did something go wrong? Starting water read correctly at 7.6
Should I try to bump the ph w/ baking soda? I'm not sure the best way to calculate this.
I do biab so I treated all 32.5L of strike water. I let it sit overnight and mixed it good after adding the additions.
5.9g calcium chloride
2g gypsum
7.8ml lactic acid
I'm making a NE style IPA. 23L in fermenter.
85% 2 row
10% wheat
5% honey malt
Wanted to try heavy chloride to sulfate ratio like I saw in this thread.
