I got some ph test strips to try out, tested my wort, per instructions on label, and it was off the chart acidic. below 4.6ph. tested again, same results. tested the water coming out of the faucet and it measured 4.8ish ph. mixed in baking soda with some water and the striped changed to over 5.8ph. the water report says the ph should be 8.9ph. temp of the wort was about 70deg. any idea whats going on? I don't have any water treatments in my house
