  • Tasting Notes

pH was difficult to hit as the RO water really bounces around. I was at low 4s on the sparge and then adjusted the mash pH up from 5.05 to about 5.4 using baking soda. It goes to show that very little to almost no lactic acid is needed for pH adjustment. Everything else was fine.1/12 - I discovered through Bru'n water that you don't need to adjust sparge water pH if you are using RO water. Go figure.
