We typically target kettle pH around 5.2. I heard some interesting ideas yesterday (Master Brewers Podcast Ep 217) regarding dryhops effect on finished beer pH. In the podcast, he mentions 1lb dryhops per bbl of wort could raise finished beer pH by .1. This is a rough figure as the alkalinity of hops vary from batch to batch. Also notes that acidifying casting wort 4-4.5 for heavily dry hopped beers might be a good idea for yeast health.
I did a little follow up on probrewer and seen some references of acidifying casting wort to 4.7.
