I get my brew water from Eldorado Springs. This is the basic water analysis information from their website:
http://www.eldoradosprings.com/?action=analysis
pH 7.22
Chloride 1.1 mg/L
Sulfate 21
Bicarbonate 40
Calcium 12.4
Magnesium 3.85
Potassium 2.64
Sodium 6.4
From my research. I was thinking 5g of Gypsum and 1g of Epsom Salt would be benificial for a 5gallon batch, generally speaking. Does that mean I would add the 6g to my mash water? or in the brew kettle?
Any thoughts?
I'm also searching for a reason for my low efficiency. Could this be part of the problem? Right now this and the crush of my grain are my only suspects.
