Ammonium Sulfate Mix PH - Blueberries

The well water I have has a PH of 6.8 and it comes out somewhat on the cold side. Does the temperature of the water affect the PH? . I did not think so, but the PH meter said that it adjusted to a particular temp.

I know that the specific gravity of a water solution changes with temp but was not aware that temp also has an effect on PH.

It took 13 drops of battery strength sulfuric acid to bring the pH down to 4.9 when I let the water sit and reach 70 degrees. Would it make a difference if the water was at 40 degrees.

ALSO, I am sure that adding the ammonium sulfate also has an effect on the PH, but is it material?

Thanx

Mike
