Today's washes are my regular lentil, cut back to 200g, before I say that one is better than the other.
Whatever, Tamarind certainly makes good yeast nutrient.

Mains water contains Aluminium, Iron and Manganese.
I suspect some of these are added in the purification process.
It claims no other ingredients than the breakdown components of chlorine which is added for purification, (Trihalomethanes).

My brew is fermenting well now.
I am happy.

I think you would have the same issue if you did a kale batch, but less pronounced.

Probably the best to start is to get the water analysis from your water supplier. Most of them are online. I have a good book for the rest, water correction is complicated but very forgiving.

Lentils have never given me a ph so low, at any point in the ferment.
Muchos bicarb of soda has now been added, and I can hear the little yeasties now working again.
A totally different sound to the "Bath Bomb" addition of bicarb.
I reckon that you have saved me a couple of days of head scratching.
And proved that Tamarind is not the ultimate neutral wash that it appeared to be.

Was I too obscure on this point?
It will be run through my column at 90+%.
I would hope that it comes out without any flavour.
Live and learn.

It’s not for the sugar content as there’s only 50grams of sugar in a 100 grams packet
