Notes

The hibiscus drops the Ph of the wort during the boil phase. It dropped nearly a full point Ph and had to adjust accordingly by adding baking soda and chalk. So use baking soda or chalk to counteract accordingly after the mash phase and entering the boil phase. Test the Ph after the boil phase to ensure wort is at 5.2 to 5.6 Ph. Adjust using Lactic Acid to drop Ph or use baking soda to increase Ph based on your readings.
