Stabilzer and Mineral Additions

Yeah Denny, you’re right, there are really several related issues here regarding the mineral additions:

-At what point in the brewing process should they be added (sparge water, mash water, or boil):  Assuming we start with RO water, it sounds like one should add some minerals (calcium) to the sparge water to lower the pH.

Some brewers salts won’t just disolve into plain water so you would probably need to actually acidify the sparge water with latic or similar acid vs adding salts, if that is what you need to do.
