Mash Temp & O.g.

[Cortez The Killer]

You should definitely join the Illawarra Brewers Union http://www.ibunion.org. Come along to a brew day and have a look at some equipment and the process etc. I'm planning on putting on a day at my place in the new year.

Cheers

I'll look into that

So for now if i simply ensure that the mash has a pH of 5.2 I should be right?

And I can do this via Citric Acid

I have ordered some pH paper from Ross to test it

Thanks

Seriously, for now forget you even know what pH is. You'll have enough to worry about for your first few brews. If you pH is wrong it'll just mean your efficiency is not as good as it could be. It won't mean your beer will be crap. There are plenty of excellent brewers who have never known what their pH is.

You're welcome to give me a call, if you can make it over for a brew or just to have a look at the kit I'm sure you'll get something out of it. I may even get a chance to brew this Sunday. My phone number is 0404 876 276.
