How much acidulated malt can be used before it adds a sourness? Is 2% OK? I am planning an American IPA, ~7% ~ 300 g hops total. 68 IBU. 90.6 % Golden Promise, 4.7 Glad. Medium Crystal, 4.7 Carapils. My last batch was a Black IPA and the mash pH was 5.2. It went so well I want to get this one close to that. 2% will bring it to an estimated pH of 5.3, without it pH 5.5 (not so bad but...). Any ideas would be great.
Tryingto make a tuatara IPA Clone.

5kg maris otter
300g munich
300g med crystal

Looks good, restrained hops for an English style IPA! Spicy Chinook, love that hop. What IBUs and SRM are you aiming for?
between 48-50 ibu, which i think is about where the beer im tryingto clone sits.
Now I bought a bottle of the commercial tuatara IPA and just finishingit off now, i really get a good chinook pine and a shitload of styrian marmalade. brillioant beer.
Can't decide if I should dryhop or not though? I could also add an additional whirlpool hop stand much like the EPIC way of doing things.
Ages since I had that beer, but I don't recall it having a huge aroma, more subtle than the two APAs. Split batch?
Thanks Tilt.
Yep, seems that way. The residual alkalinity is just a bit high with pale beers and there is only so much gypsum and Calcium Chloride that I would want to add. Turns out I am on the same water supply as Emesron's. Maybe it is my imagination but I reckon I can taste a hint of acid malt in a couple of their beers (not in a bad way, just a subtle fresh tang)!
Here is the reason why I only have one fermenter...
Any advice on this one?
