    BruNWater vs Mash Made Easy, different PH outcome

    Hello everyone I've been trying to wrap my head around BruNwater as I noticed that my PH calculations are off as compared to the Mash Made Easy spreadsheet. Also checked with brewersfriend. Anyone here that could shed some light on this topic as to why BruNwater which I always believed to be...
