That's what she said!
I have a RO system and filled my first gallons this week to brew today. I usually use bottled spring water. The pH measured on the spring water was generally ~6.90. So today when I took to initial pH before dough in, the pH from my RO was 8.50. Is that unusually high? My TDS was 3ppm.
Also, after adding salts, my ppm showed 365. I thought that was sorta high. My pH for mash ended up at 5.4 so at least that is good. The brew was an oktoberfest-ish type.
