That's what Gordon says: if you don't want to mess with the alkalinity, cold steep. Or at least that's what I seem to recall from the book. But now that I have a good quality pH meter...

and depending on your water alkalinity, the acidic from roast may get you pretty close to target PH. from there, just adjust with lactic or other.
