So far this has done the job along with some process changes

I hate to admit it but this is the secret ingredient of the best brewers word wide. Your water is the key to perfection. Add to strike water. 2 Tbs for 9 gal. That's it. Brew away. Cheers my friends

Great product, easy to use

Use this every brew and have stopped checking ph as it's always spot on.

Great product. Significantly improves my final gravity! I’d recommend this product

The only chemical altering additive I use

I mixed 200g of room temp water and 0.53g of acid blend (malic and tartaric) to a pH of 3.2 -- I added 5x recommended at rate of 1tbsp/1gallon (1.16g of buffer as I measured 1 tbsp as 22 grams so used ~ 22g/3785g water).This maybe raised the pH by 0.2, I added to 4x that amount (so 20x) and that brought me up to about 4.0... adding 0.4g of sodium bicarbonate got me to 5.2 from there. I think that if you are within a couple of points pH this probably will nudge you in the right direction - but it DOES NOT "instantly adjust(ed) to the perfect pH of 5.2" -- that's just not how chemistry works.I cannot say if this is good or bad for brewing, I think a small amount probably doesn't hurt anything and will likely nudge you towards 5.2 pH -- but it will not fix a significant pH imbalance. I plan to use it at normal dose for brewing just to give a light buffer effect but will still pre-adjust my pH to be in the ballpark.

Want to take the guess work out? Use this stuff. I believe in using local water to give your beer local flavor, but the ph where I live is terrible. Fixed my problems right now.

I decided I wanted to try out the 5.2 Ph stabilizer as an experiment when I made my next batch of beer. Wow what a difference it made. The yeast went crazy and the airlock looked like a pressure valve on a pressure cooker. Really impressive.

Fantastic product. My well water and water filtration system in my new house has great tasting water, but due to high PH & total alkalinity was impacting the brew house efficiency compared to my previous location. I used this product with 6 brews and increased efficiency by 20%! Easy to use and no impact on taste and hitting my OG as planned!

This is excellent stuff! Always helps with every mash I do!

good product....fast service,,,,

I've been using this for years. 1 tablespoon per 5 gallons, set it, and forget it.

Or local utility (EBMUD) delivers ~8.3 pH water; which is >30 times more alkaline than should be used for brewing. In turn, I use 5.2pH Stabilizer to manage down that number. Although I need to use 1.25x the suggested amount to get within range, I do usually get down to 5.3 or 5.4 pH. Is it perfect? No. Does it effectively work in my situation on Muni-water? Absolutely. I then add various other items to get the water closer to the intended 'style'; epsom, calcium, gypsum, etc.

Works well in stabilizing you mash

Extract or All Grain Ph 5.2 is a MUST

This really did work. I have heard that it’s hit or miss but it brought my ph down to 5.2 when I’ve been having a hard time getting below 5.6. 2 TBS in 10 gallons

Secured packaging and fast shipping.

I've read a bit on fussing with water and haven't made the plunge to do it. I use this as my lazy way of pretending to care about water. My filtered water tastes good and the beer that results is great. I'm not terribly interested in cloning beers anymore, so matching someone's water profile isn't terribly interesting to me.

I started using this years ago and still do it out of habit. Does it work? I'm not really sure. I've brewed good award winning beer with it and without it but when I'm brewing a batch of beer and am not already doing my own water chemistry, I toss it in. I take the attitude that it can't hurt. I've researched the efficacy of this product and there are mixed feelings about it.

I bought this on a Beerdeal but all I have right now are pH strips that aren't super accurate so I am not sure if it actually works or not. I have been using it in IPA's and once in a stout but I don't feel it is necessary in the stouts so I quit using it for stout brews.

I add it to my mash and have never had an issue

I used 5.2ph stabilizer for the first time on an IPA that I have brewed many times. I checked the mash out PH and it was 5.2. I didn't notice a difference in the taste of the IPA. I'll try it a few more times on different beers an see if I taste any difference.

I like to use this since water in my area is really bad I get water from a machine and add this stabilizer and I have never had a problem with a batch of home brew

I use this for my lagers but not for my ales. I tried it in a couple of ales and didn't notice much difference. But in my lager, I think it helps it finish cleaner.

This made a noticeable difference the first time I used it. I don't bother to check it for accuracy everytime anymore, but I make sure I never forget to use it, unless I am brewing a dark heavy beer. I have good water to start with, so this brings it inline.

My water pH is 8.8. I find that the 5.2 stabilizer will bring it down but it will not bring it down to 5.2. So I found that I must use lactic acid and then stabilize it with the 5.2 keep it there.

I use the 5.2 pH Stabilizer in the mash & sparge water for every batch that I brew and have had better results and an increased efficiency.

I use it and see a 5% increase in efficiency for my water/system.

Just started all grain (BIAB) brewing and this is much easier than trying to calculate ph, etc. great product for someone just starting out in all grain.

One step treatment makes it easy to adjust your Ph

I am a "newer" home brewer. I have purchased many things but my water is still treated tap water (campden tablet). My cdity water is more acidic than I thought, around pH 5. So, I bought this item in order to brew all grain and not worry about my pH falling too low. I just brewed another batch and this product kept my pH from dropping into the high to mid 4s. Good product. With free shipping on orders over $59 a great add on.

Great product, it makes my life easier.
