So in my example in reply #7, the correct kettle addition would be simply 0.7ml total?

I don't think its going to take that much. I think it will be the difference in the acid rate times the mashing water volume, not kettle volume. But do check my assumptions with actual trials and measurements. I haven't done so...yet.

Thanks, Martin.  I also looked back at the thread Jim mentioned above, and it provides anecdotal evidence of people (Jim and AmandaK I think) getting the desired result with the larger amount of acid.  I'll have another data point to add (one way or the other) in two weeks.

That’s the current (soon to be retired) version of the spreadsheet.

That link no longer seems to work. Is there a new link for the spreadsheet? Thanks!
