v Help clarify your wort.
v More consistent hop usage in the boil.
v Reduce scaling & mineral deposition in the lauter.
v DESCRIPTION
52 is a proprietary blend of food-grade phosphate buffers (similar to brewer’s salts) that
will lock in your mash and kettle water at a pH of 5.2 regardless of the starting pH of your
water. 52 is safe for your mash and WILL NOT add any flavors to your beer. 52 will
provide consistency of pH in any water conditions, but the most significant gains will be
obtained if you are brewing in hard water.
Repeatability throughout the brewing process is the key to producing consistent high
quality beer. Of all the ingredients in your beer, water is the most misunderstood
component. Water is universal solvent for metals, minerals, cations and anions. The
quality, hardness and subsequent pH of your water will affect enzymatic activity,
solubility of salts, proteins and sugars as well as hop usage and perceived hop
bitterness. In addition, water quality also contributes to scaling and mineral deposited
on your equipment. Now you have the ability to control the pH of your brewing water
under any conditions.
