"Color is not a factor in water adjustment."
"Alkalinity can be neutralized; it's what's left over(RA) that is undesireable from a flovor standpoint."
I've been led to believe differently. I've tried to adjust my water RA to achive a certain beer color. And I never knew it could effect taste in an undesirable way.
I add chalk to raise the RA of my water but being that it is hard to dissolve chalk in an alkaline environment(so it's true effectiveness is mostly a guess) and raising RA may be undesirable, maybe I shouldn't add chalk.
