Im trying to dabble with water chemistry and I need some help. Im trying to use the EZ water calc spreadsheet to get a London Profile (as defined by Palmer in how to brew).
I recently bought 2 water plastic carboys that happened to be PET full of distilled water for $5 bucks each.
I want to use that water to brew a brown ale and then use the empty carboy to ferment in, however I want to match that london profile and I cant seem to get it with the EZ calculator. I can get close to the ion concentration but the RA is way too low. (my target is roughly 25 SRM, and a Malt balance.)
I have NaCl, Gypsum, CaCl, Baking Soda, pH strips and I think the only salts im missing (MgS04, and CaCO3) im gonna try to get at the LHBS tomorrow.
So can anyone help me with this? I want to brew New Years Morning.
THANKS!!
