So if I try and maintain a proper ph during mash (5.2?) ,add some water hardener and mash higher it will come out less offensive ?
Still trying to get my head around the water side of things
Think the bu:gu ratio was 140odd : 72 so the balance comes put around 2.00 ..... So not very balanced
Had a second attempt at a session wheat IPA the other day and I mashed higher and made it so the bu:gu ratio was 42:42 . I didn't measure the ph but my water comes out around 6 but it was pretty much only wheat and pilsner malt used so I hope it wasn't to bad
I didn't add any water hardener to it so I'll have to see what a better balance and a higher mash brings to the party
Cheers for the info Danstead
