So, long story short I recently moved from NM to MI. I was brewing with RO water while in NM and thought I had a good handle on it for most of my beers. When I decided I'd be headed to MI I figured I'd just find a source for RO water and I'd be back on track no problems. WRONG
In NM I used AJ's water primer and life was good.
Brewed my first batch this past week in MI and my starting PH of the RO water is 4.9, before mashing. I mixed some of my well water with the RO just to get the PH up and got it the 5.1 during the mash. Figured maybe that RO machine was bad went to a different one today and that one reads 5.1. So any help on where to go from here would be a great help.
Oh and the PH readings were taken with a Hach pocket pro+ calibrated before readings and doubled/tripled check when I saw the readings I got.
Thanks in advance,
Kevin
