How much Gypsum and Calcium Chloride is needed to boost my bottled spring water profile up to excellent mineral levels for an American IPA / IIPA ?
Assuming:
-5.00 gallon boil start
-1.00 gallon boil and trub loss
-4.00 gallon batch size - No dilution
-Recipe contains 42% Extra Light DME extract, which already contains some dissolved minerals
Ca 22
Mg 5
S04 11
Na 5
Cl 8.5
HC03 75
Alkalinity 61
I'm thinking like 2 grams (1/2 tsp) of ClC2 and 8 grams (2 tsp) of Gypsum.
And if you severely undershoot these additions, is it okay to add them to the primary after 2 weeks, or is this highly unadvisable?
