One month ago I bottled 19 ltrs of bitter from a G.Wheeler recipe for Theakstons Best. On the plus side is was a nice drink, good colour and well corbonated. On the downside, it was a little underhopped for my taste. Ok easy to remedy, I can increase the hop load from 33g to say, 50g.
The biggest problem is over-acidity and how I can remedy this. I don't want to go to the expense of a Ph meter and I'm aware that this part of the SW has neutral to soft water. I'm happy to progress on a 'trial and error' basis. So what should I add, when should I add it and how much quantity for a 19L brew? Many thanks in anticipation.
