clarified SG = specific gravity, and note by Dave Janssen on FG
# Upon reaching 7.0 pH, slowly add more NaOH until pH meter reads exactly pH 8.2, keeping track of how much NaOH is added.
# Record the total amount of NaOH used to reach pH 8.2, including the amount that was needed to reach a pH of 7.0 and the additional amount needed to reach a pH of 8.2.
# Use the following formula to find the ''Titratable Acidity'': '''Titratable Acidity = (mL 0.1N NaOH * 0.9) / (mL beer * S.G.Specific Gravity)'''
# The number you get is TA in grams/L.
:''Note: SG has a limited role in the equation. For example, a change from an SG of 1.000 to 1.020 is only a change of 2%. Final Gravity plays a large role in the perceived acidity due to the residual sugars balancing sourness on the palate <ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/MilkTheFunk/permalink/1097532690274944/?comment_id=1097668506928029&offset=0&total_comments=19&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R5%22%7D Conversation with Dave Janssen on MTF. 6/23/2015.]</ref>.
