I just moved to a new state, and brewed a dark beer recipe that I'm fond of-- a weizenbock.
However, I believe my water chemistry may have been different enough from my previous location to have dropped the mash pH too low, because my fermented beer is a bit tart.
For the time being, I'd like to troubleshoot this problem assuming it's not infected.
Today I am going to the homebrew store to get pH strips. How can I correct perceived acidity / tartness in a finished beer?
