Generally I no spagre brew for my 5 gallon batches, as it works better for my system. When I do 10 gal batches I need to batch sparge do to mash tun size limitations. When I batch sparge, can I check the pH of the water after it is added to the grain or should it be done prior? Is there anything wrong with sparging this way/measuring pH this way?
I ask because I use RO water and the pH reading of the water can vary(it never reads 7), so I do not really know how much acid to add. When I add the water to the grain it seems to correct and read the proper pH.
I have had a lot of issues with tannin extraction, even with RO water. I want to make sure I do not have that issue in my 10 gallon batches.
