Thanks, I'll give it a try.

Can anyone suggest a water profile for this? I brew using RO water. Thanks so much!

Is the toasted 2 row considered a base grain or crystal malt in Bru'n Water? Any insight?

I've made it about half way through this thread so sorry if it has been answered but does anyone have a good water profile to follow for this beer? I use Bru'n water. Planning on brewing this in the next few days. Also, has anyone had a problem with 60 min boil vs the 90 min boil listed in...

Ok great, thanks for the input. Yes I am using 10%. I am brewing tomorrow so I am excited to see the results.

Hello all. After having a lot of water issues I am taking the advice given on here and I am trying Bru'n Water for the first time. I will be brewing a 10 gallon batch Raspberry wheat that I have made several time before. I was hoping for a little feedback before I brew. Mostly concerned with...

10% is what I'm using, 1/4 tsp per 5 gallons of water. So I've read about the effects of gypsum on flavour, primarily that it will bring out more hops. What affect specifically does the Cacl have on flavour? When you suggest using 2tsp gypsum and 1 tsp Cacl, is that based on a 5 gallon...

Thanks for all of the replies. I think using some software will be my next step. I have hesitated to do so because I know (and understand) very little about water chemistry for brewing.

I moved about a year and a half ago. I had always used tap water to brew but my new house has unusable crazy hard water. So I made the switch to RO about a year ago. Since that time I just can't seem to get things dialed in. I just brewed an IPA and and APA. The IPA is dry hopped and the...

Great, thanks again!

To clarify, the drop in gypsum should also be 50%?

This is great stuff. Thanks again!

ajdelange, I've been reading through your primer thread. I'm only part way through as it is quite lengthy and I'm trying to take in as much as possible. You provided your baseline along with ratios for different styles of beers. Are you planning on changing those numbers as well? Thanks again...

Ok, well I will be trying it in a few days. I will be picking up RO water and then add calcium chloride as you suggest. Reading through your past posts, is it fair to say that it doesn't really matter when I add the calcium chloride to the water?

Thanks, I've never seen that thread. Thanks for taking the time to put it together and sharing. Can I ask you why you are recommending only half the baseline amount?

Really? That sounds easy. Will that just give me water with a safe, general profile?

So where I'm at currently is that I have a friend coming to brew in a few days. What should I do for water? Can I mix tap water with distilled or RO and expect reasonable results? I'm not looking to win any competitions, just want to drink a decent beer.

I just boiled a pot of the water to see (since I usually use a softener) and after I boiled for a couple of minutes there was a little cloudiness to the water. Does this reveal any information? Does anyone know if wardlabs will service Canadian customers?

Now I'm more confused. I was told that my hardness reading was 15 grains/gallon. (Essentially all Calcium). When I googled and converted it, it came out at 257ppm. According to Bru'n Water they convert 15 grains/ gallon to 102.9ppm. I was told by the person who tested that I have very hard...

Thanks so much for the replies. Unfortunately, they did not give me any other info. I have dropped off a sample to another water store near me and should hear back tomorrow. I am hoping their test will give me some more details. I have done some reading but I don't really feel all that...
