Using RO water how much phosphoric acid takes the PH from 7.44 down to 5.5? There are post out there that say treat all brewing liquor to 5.5. Gordon Strong says that, among other reputable brewers. Do you leave the PH probe in the 5 gal RO jug until it stops? I think I added 1.5 ml to each 5 gal jug and the PH meter finally stopped at 4.6 after 45 minutes. I use the MW 101, and yes it was freshly calibrated. I'm lost when it comes to water chemistry. Maybe there are previous posts out there that will help. Thanx.
