pH buffer

Post by retourrbx » Fri Nov 30, 2007 1:56 pm

I got 65% efficiency on my last batch sparge or thereabouts - do you think it would make much of a difference to use the pH 5.2 buffer that you can get from H&G?

65% was my average efficiency before I started using 5.2, now it's around 75%.

sounds promising - will give it a go - my efficiency seems to fluctuate a bit too much for my liking making recipe formulation more difficult

I experienced the same as mysterio. Average efficiency on batch sparging was 70% which upped to 75%, and on one brew 78%, once I started using PH5.2.
