OK i figured I would just say that I'm currently in the middle of brewing Denny Conn's BVIP a 12G Batch.
Im currently measuring a 4.96 pH and I think I know why its so low.
I've maxed out my MT for a 12G batch and I think because there are so many dark grains in this, I don't have enough water to bump up the pH. I've added 3 tea spoons of Chalk, and have not moved it up any bit...
I guess my question is... Am I going to have any negative effects on this?
Next step is the mash out and then fly sparging for an hour or so.
Appreciate any input. I might even post some pictures up on demand...
