===Effects of pH===
Yet another consideration is the effect of pH on the decomposition of SMM into DMS. The [[Dimethyl_Sulfide#Mashing_and_Boiling|half-life table above]] demonstrates that a decrease of -0.3 pH increases the half-life by 5.5 minutes. Unfortunately we do not have data to show if this how very low pH values effect is linear or notthe SMM half-life, but assuming it is linear then the conversion of SMM into DMS after the wort has soured would be greatly reduced. Assuming the effect of pH on SMM half-life is linear, and that every -0.3 pH is another increases the half-life by 5.5+ minutes of half-life, the half-life table could be updated to include the first columnas seen below:
