Folks after many years of brewing I'm getting into Brun Water but a little confused. Brewing a Pale Ale on a Spike 15. BrunWater is showing that I add 8ml lactic acid and 8.5g Gypsum to the mash (8.5 gallons water/20 lbs 2-row/1 lb C40) and 14ml lactic acid & 13g Gypsum to the 13 gallons of sparge water.
Can someone check to see if I have done this right? I added the lactic acid into the sparge acidification section and it turned green. I added the lactic acid and the gypsum to the mash and it came out green. But in the acidification summary it added gympsum to the sparge as well as the lactic acid. Is this correct?
