Hello,
I've been having trouble with the new mash ph feature. The mash ph that the software predicts is always higher than it actually is when I measure it (actual ph is usually 0.2-0.3 lower). What's odd is that the first couple times I used the software, it correctly predicted the mash ph. I thought maybe my water changed so I did a test with my LaMotte kit. It came back with slightly higher alkalinity but only by 10 ppm and slightly higher Cl but only by 5 ppm. I work at a LHBS so I am careful to make sure the grains I enter in BeerSmith are what I actually brew with (manufacturer, lovibond, etc). All my volumes and losses are inputted correctly. Any tips on what I can do to get accurate mash PH predictions? Thanks!
