So Far came up with this recipe for Russian Imperial Stout and been using the Ez water calculator to adjust my ideal water for Seattle, Wa soft water. My Water report right now is
Calcium-8.9 ppm
Magnesium- 1 ppm
Sodium- 6.8 ppm
Chloride- 4 ppm
Sulfate- 2 ppm
Alkalinity- 17.5 ppm
I know you want chloride and Sulfate to be even for a balanced beer, and I need to raise my Alkalinity higher for my Stout. Help is needed here, thanks everyone.
