3 CMC pale malt Thanks!

What pH did you aim for/achieve for this?

Thank you scavenge! I used a sheet of plywood, stained in a blue/gray shade. I wanted to use barn wood, but the inconsistency in each piece would have made it difficult to rest a glass. Unfortunately this is about the last of the usable wood from the barn. The barn was torn down years ago and...

Thanks ajdelange! I used enough sauermalz to get target a pH of 5.3, which I thought would be better for a wit beer. After 5 minutes I was at 5.26 and at 30 minutes I was at 5.34, so I assumed that was good enough. I after the rest of the malt after 60 minutes and I ended up with really high...

That makes sense! Thanks mabrungard! It actually makes my life easier, I couldn't find pickling lime anywhere and nerd to order it online.

I'm brewing a 5 gallon all grain all Brett Belgian white tomorrow, using distilled water. First brew session with my hach pH meter too. The recipe is great, it is from zymurgy article by chad from crooked stave. Last time I brewed was a partial mash version before I cared about water. This time...

How did the Conan version come out? I've never had the original but want to try to use Conan on an APA, IPA and DIPA to see where it works best. I've had double citra in my sights for a while now.

Thanks!

Excellent, thanks for the update!

Do you know how early it might arrive?

I just received a hach pH meter in the mail, but don't have deionized water. Should I try to find some or is distilled water OK to rinse the probe with? Is there anywhere I can buy it? Thanks. Sent from my VS980 4G using Home Brew mobile app

Mchrispen, I brewed the beer with 100% distilled and only shifted from the primer slightly. Spent a good amount of time with bru'n water and used 1% acid malt and less than a gram of baking soda in addition to the calcium chloride quantity mentioned in the primer. I targeted 5.4 pH. I know I...
