So here is the water I am working with,
Total alkalinity = 152
Bicarbonate alkalinity = 152
Chloride = 29
Hardness = 2.8
Total phosphorous = 0.34
Silica = 13.1
Sulfate = 7.6
Calcium = 1.24
Magnesium = 0.05
Potassium = 0.577
Sodium = 100
I have been brewing with RO water and adding minerals on the pilot scale, but this batch is going to be...huge. (60bbl)
I've been using RO water with additions to hit:
206ppm Ca
147ppm SO4
I don't think want the SO4 in the water if the sodium is higher than usual. What suggestions do you have to get close in profile to my target water?
I was thinking about just adding CaCl to get in the ballpark, but the Bicarbonate and Sodium has me concerned.
