      Hi,
      
      I'm pretty sure this has been asked before but here goes. My water is quite alkaline.
      I was thinking (before I try all grain) about trying a partial mash with extract , base malt, and crystal.
      I am aware the crystal just needs to be steeped not mashed but...
      I think the crystal will have a tendency to bring the ph of the mash down and that is what I want to do.
      Does it make sense to add the crystal to the base malt and steep/mash it together? I have a ph meter that I can check the ph...

      HI,
      Can someone help me to find info on this topic. I don't seem to be able to find anything on adjusting mash PH. The fact that I can't find anything leads to believe that it's not that important.
      Regards
