I have just started adjusting my water with brewing salts, and I find that my scale, though calibrated, takes a few minutes and multiple tries to give me consistent readings that are accurate to 0.1 grams. (The scale doesn't like me to sprinkle, it wants me to dump. It also weighs best when I hit the sweet spot at the center of the weighing platform.)
To save time on brew day, I was thinking that I might measure out my gypsum, CaCl, etc. a day or so in advance, and keep the mash and sparge additions in separate little mason jars. The different salts would be mixed together in each jar.
Any problem with this strategy? Will the chemicals react with each other in the jar in a way that would negate their effect on my brewing water?
