I want to do the following all-grain experiment as an exercise to learn about water chemistry. I'm sick of reading about water chemistry and want to see for myself how things turn out. I wanted to see if anyone else tried something similar before I spend the time.
1) Brew a pale using RO water and salts to get approximately
Ca 100ppm
S04 100ppm
Cl 100ppm
2) Same as #1, but increase salts in same proportions to get about
Ca 300ppm
S04 300ppm
Cl 300ppm
3) Same as #1, but lower gypsum and increase CaCl to get about
Ca 150ppm
S04 50ppm
Cl 200ppm
All other things being equal, what would be the difference in flavor profile across 1,2, and 3?
