Brewer notes

Phosphoric acid can lower mash or sparge-water pH with relatively little flavour contribution at normal brewing doses. Calculate from the labelled concentration and actual water chemistry. This catalogue entry places it in the mash stage; confirm that timing against the specific product and recipe.
