Hi yoaaal i´m not 100% sertain how one calculate lactic ions. I have an 80% lactic acid blend in a bottle (store bought). Whats the concentraton of 1N solution? is it 88%? or a 100%
Is 1mEq/L the same as 1ml/L? and if 1mEq/L contributes with 89 ions, do 1ml in 10L water contribute with 8,9 lactic ions?
How many lactic ions do an 80% blend contribute with per 1ml/L
I think iv over did it one time with a Saison
Usualy i just use 2ml of lactic acid for a 5gal brew, 1 to correct the mash pH in light beers and 1 to the spage water. Iv read the water book over and over, listened to the water show, used salts for a couple of years with great results. I feel like it´s the one thing that i don´t realy grasp at the moment this lactic contribution thing.
