I made my first stab at creating a water profile for my recent English mild. I weighed out the various minerals utilizing EZ Water Calc and added them to my water at the start of the day.

The complete addition was something along the lines of a couple of tablespoons of material. The water turned a slight milky color which never really went away during heating. I tasted the water and it seemed fine.

After putting the last of the water into the mash for sparging I noticed some of the compounds added had never dissolved even though the treated water had been heated and stirred for the strike and sparge. I haven't a clue which minerals were left behind.

Is this normal?
 
Thanks guys. I'll consider this and act accordingly in the future. Appreciate the response.
