Hi,
I'm brewing my second batch, so I am quite a beginner and I have noticed that after fermentation is done the PH is not right – PH 3.6. As far as I know, it should be somewhere around 4.2. I did not take a reading of the wort PH before fermentation, but the tap water that was used was about 7.9.
The first batch is bottled and resting for 2 weeks now, but I do worry about low PH. I have opened up one bottle for tasting, and it is still hazy and a bit of sour taste.
Is it contaminated or wild yeast grow? Potentially, could it be something with water PH at the beginning?
Thanks guys.
