OK, I have a DIPA (IIPA) planned next. About 100 IBUs and a 27 SRM.
Wards Lab Water Profile:
Ca=<1
Mg=<1
HCO3=166
SO4-S=3
CaCO3=3
Cl=5
Na=80
Total Alkalinity=151
pH=8.5
Plan to dilute 1:1 with distilled water to start.
Total Mash Volume 5.3 gal
Sparge (Batch) Volume 5.0 gal
I've read the chapters in Palmer's book, and Daniel's book and the Bru 'n Water document and played around with the Palmer spreadsheet and the Bru 'n Water spreadsheet. While I THINK I understand some of it, I was wondering if someone with water adjustment knowledge might give me their thoughts on what I should do.
Right now, I have gypsum, CaCl (liquid currently), and phosphoric acid (10%) on hand.
I'll run my numbers thru the spreadsheets and see if I come close.
Thanks for any help I can get!
