Many kettle sour brewers are lowering the pH of the wort to 4.5 prior to pitching souring bacteria in a effort to maintain head retention in the finished beer. The challenge is knowing how much acid (usually lactic) to add in order to achieve the desired pH. One such brewer is using EZ water by inputting a mash pH of 4.5 and noting the amount of acid required. Then he inputs his desired mash pH (say 5.4). He then adjusts his mash water using the latter and after sparging adds the remainder of the former calculation. Is this a feasible way to get the finished wort in the pH 4.5 ballpark? If not, is there anyway to predict the amount of acid to bring wort to that level?
