R-262.02.030 [2016-03] Titratable Acidity of (Laboratory) Wort from Sour Malt

The wort analysis methods are written, for example, for wort that is produced using the Congress mash method. These methods may also be applied in the analysis of wort which has been produced using a different mash method, particularly the isothermal 65 °C method. However, the reference values listed in the analysis method for Congress wort are not transferable.
