I cont to have frustrating results with finial beer PH. Is there any reason that this should have dropped by so much?
95% optic malt
5 % C120
No sparge
OG 1.042
FG 1.010
Edinburgh Ale WLP028
Mash 149F
Room temp PH with calibrated meter 2 points.
Post boil PH was 5.6 Finial PH was 4 at room temp
Water was Ca 100ppm, Mg 8, NA 14, Sulfate 149, Chloride 40, Bicarb 114, Alkalinity 94, RA 18, Hardness 284
I am was intentionally trying make my finial beer PH around 4.5. I assume i need to brew the exact same beer with the exact same ingredients to nail it down. I even pushed the water chemistry higher than normal. I have never used this yeast though. Any thoughts would help
