Yesterday I tried adjusting my water to match the beer I was making. To do this I used a mix of distilled water and local tap water, and added chemicals to the water before I started my mash. I used beersmith to calculate what to add to the water. My problem was that most of the chemicals that I added didn't dissolve in the water, they just sunk to the bottom of the pot! What am I doing wrong here?
Second, I have read here that it is a good idea to use filtered water, as a brita filter will remove chlorine compounds. Does using filtered water change the levels of any important brewing chemicals?
