I use salts, mainly calcium sulphate and calcium chloride, to adjust the pH in the mash tun.
I'm using rainwater that i tested (a few years ago now) so i know what i am starting with (<0.1 ppm of any of the brewing salts).
I have been using a few profiles over the past year for different beer styles and am making a few adjustments to those after doing some reading in the last week (Principles of Brewing Science).
Doing a run of pilsners with 100% base malt to get an idea of what is happening in the tun with and without salt additions and next up, acid additions.
