Using RO water 1 tsp/gallon molasses and about 1/2 cup of EWC. 12 hours into aerating it has dropped from 7 to 6, and a day later stabilizes at ph 5.
I threw out the tea even though it smelled fine and mixed another batch with more molasses thinking maybe I wasn't giving the bacteria enough food.. same result.
When I add a little fish and seaweed mix to this the pH starts lower but ends up at 7.
I thought EWC would be pretty neutral I don't understand why it's getting acidic. Is this normal or what is going on ?
