HB Stout while pondering how to achieve this water profile for the Westvleterian 12 clone. Chemicals are easy but to get pH, I'd need 1.25lbs or 5% acid malt. Seems like a lot. I don't want to sour it. Anyone have experience in this arena? I use RO and remineralize. View attachment 662007

For all my Belgian beers, I use RO water, with 1/2 tsp calcium chloride, and 1/2 tsp calcium sulfate per 5 gallons of mash water. The mash pH has always fallen right in for me. I do acidify the sparge water to 5.5 pH.

Yeah, i have a standard water profile. Just thought I'd try something different. Thanks.

I use 3 to 4% acid malt all the time. I wouldn’t think 5% would be over the top.

Damn, I'm way behind the power curve if Brewing gets that into the weeds. I need to start educating myself
 
Was looking for the 6-packs of it here in NY at my local store but they only had the mini kegs out. I’ll have to wait till the weekend.
Yeah my local bev would have had it today but they stop their Wednesday deliveries during the winter months. Will have to wait til Friday
 
Ipa from a local brewery made with Idaho 7, citra pellets, and citra cryo. It actually has a nice lemon pith resiny bitterness that you don’t seem to find anymore View attachment 662070

Baby!!! Suarez Friday? Pretty sure I am heading up for the open.

See what lactic acid does
 
That's 500ml of HB goodness! It's an Old Ale clone out of BYO. It's my "mistake" brew that ended up being over 13%.
The port is good stuff as well. If wine tasted like that, I would like it.
Oh, and we got a new kitten. His name is Moose and he's 11 weeks old. We're really happy about it. Cheers!
