My tap water is 9.1 Ph.
I know a mash changes/lowers the Ph, but what about adding 11oz DME to .75g for a 1.040 starter? Does the DME lower the Ph and if so could I estimate that without a direct measurement? (no meter)
Just curious if a small citric acid addition to lower it for better yeast health would be warranted, if the DME didn't lower it.
Lots of info out there, but i never saw anything specific to this.
