So this is the makeup of my water according to the water authority.
Ca-64.2
Mg-40.5
Na-11.9
Cl-27.1
SO4-13.7
Alkalinity-286 ( I used the total Alkalinity on the report.
I was trying to use the ezwater adjustment calculator to keep my ph up when I brew a imperial stout. The last one I brewed seemed too acidic so I was thinking of a way to prevent that from happing again.
Accordig to the calculator I would have to add:
.5 gr of chalk
1 gr of gypsum
1 gr calcium chloride
2.5 gr baking soda
These additions would get me into optimal range for all the minerals but it says that my residual alkalinity is best suted for a beer with an srm 0f 18-23.
Any input on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
