I've only done a couple batches using Bru'n Water so still getting the hang of it.
Was hoping somebody could look this over so I don't screw up a batch before I even start.
Going to brew a Founders style Porter tomorrow...will end up being a 6 gallon batch. Total water is just over 10 gallons.
I could get RO water if needed or I could use my Chicago water with a campden tablet.
I'm leaning towards my tap water but I'm trying to figure out how to get my mash PH up... I added .5g of baking soda however why is it showing red? Is it just because I shouldn't add it to the sparge water?
Also, why is the bicarbonate NAd?
Would I be better off getting RO water and treating from there?
Any help is appreciated.
