I'm doind a 16.5 gallon batch of Celebration. Since my water is so hard, I thought it is just as easy to build it. I got my water info from threads here and listening to Steve the SN brewer on their water used. Using EZ I came up with
Ca-84
Mg-10
Na-24
Cl-32
SO4-197
Alkalinity-59 and RA of -7
Do these numbers look OK?
When I have the values of the additions for the mash I get that part. When it askes about adjusting the mash y/no. If you say yes it puts the same values to go into the boil. Is this correct? I'm treating 13.4 gallons of mash water. Example. for my CaSO4 addition is 14 grams. If treating the sparge water, 13.8 gallons it has 14.2 grams to add to the boil. I've read all evening and some treat sparge, some don't and every answer in between. Do I treat the sparge the same? Just seems like a lot of additions. I don't want to go off the deep end on adding salts.
