I have a question about water pH and acid.
When I designed a beer and included my makts and acids to get a proper pH the system States I need over 3 grams citric acid for the mash and less than a gram for the sparge...
Why is this?
There is 4 gallons in the mash and 5 in the sparge. Also, you have the malts in the (yes I am doing an acid rest at 95)... So why the difference? If anything I thought it would be the other way.
Any insight would be great!
