I do not think it is a coincidence we both have the same issue with a Braumeister. From what I have now been told it is partly due to the Braumeister mash volumes being much higher than traditional brewing systems. The grain does not have the ability to reduce the mash ph by as much as the...

Yes I think I will try CRS in my next brew and see if that brings the levels to a more desirable level. Thank you

The mash ph was taken after around 15-20mins and cooled to room temperature. Unfortunately I have never checked the mash runoff ph.

Thank you, but I have used various water treatment calculators and they all say due to the low alkalinity in my water that no CRS is needed and the mash ph will be in the correct range. In reality this is not the case, so hopefully someone can help identify what I need to do differently.

I live in an area with very soft water with very low mineral content. I have had my water analysed by Phoenix Analytical and use the figures in the Graham Wheeler Water Treatment Calculator. The alkalinity is only 20 CaCO3 so there are no recommendations for reducing this further. I brew mostly...
