Tank Water Ph Is 6? Should I Add Anything To Lower To 5?

[BeerSwiller]

Hi all,

Have made a few ag brews but finally checked the water PH and wondering if I need to add anything to get PH to 5 and what effects if any are caused by having PH at 6?

Thanks in advance

It's not the water pH that's important, it's the mash pH. Measure your mash pH then think about making adjustments.

an analysis of your water would be desirable,you could then determine what to add to your mash to get y the desired ph,calcium levels etc. Id do a mash,draw some wort, and check its ph first.
