Ok, I have a question about water Ph. My household water ranges between 7.5 and 8.5 Ph. To adjust my sparge water Ph I've been using lactic acid to bring the sparge water down to 5.4.
My Question is: what's the recommened thing people use to adjust DOWN their sparge water?
I use 5.2 in my mash, and I'm sure I could add this to my sparge water too and it would bring it down but "is this the right thing to do"? OR I could add gypsum but I would think that would take a lot of gypsum in comparison with the teaspoon or so of lactic acid...
Thanks much,
Marc
