Adjusting the pH of Sparge Water

[ricofern]

I have made over a 100-1bbl batches of beer with my system and have a really good handle on Mash pH. I am starting to read some literature that says I should adjust the pH of the sparge water to about 5.5. I manually calculate the acid addition for the mash water in BS. Should I be doing the same thing for the sparge water?

I'm no expert, but I've just read on this forum from the man himself, that if your sparge water is below 6 (recommended range between 5.6 - 5.8) then you are ok. I guess it is all down to your supply water.
