Good morning all,
I was looking to get your advice on my next planned beer. I'm looking brew up this porter:

I'm altering this recipe down to 1-gallon.
Per the brewing water chemistry primer;
Baseline: Add 1 tsp of calcium chloride dihydrate (what your LHBS sells) to each 5 gallons of water treated. Add 2% sauermalz to the grist.
For beers that use roast malt (Stout, porter): Skip the sauermalz.
I haven't been using sauermalz at all (just using the calcium chloride with distilled water). Looks like what I'm seeing above is that I can simply use the calcium chloride and distilled water only, and not have any issues.
Would you guys be able to confirm for me? Thanks!
