I put in (what I think) are the same values for an upcoming Oktoberfest that I'm brewing and the output from both of these spreadsheets is pretty different (5.49 vs 5.2 pH). Can someone take a look at my spreadsheets and tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Background: I'm brewing with 100% RO water and normally I just follow the primer (1g CaCL2/gal of water). I batch sparge with (in this case) 4.88gal of mash water and 5.69gal of sparge water.

Here's the 2 spreadsheets: Bru'n Water and EZ Water
