Starting with Reverse Osmosis (RO) water makes water chemistry easy peasy. Here's mine.
First add salts for your beer character:
1. Malty beer = 20 gallons + 5 grams (CaSO4-2H2O) + 10 grams (CaCl2-2H2O)
2. Balanced beer = 20 gallons + 7 grams (CaSO4-2H2O) + 8 grams (CaCl2-2H2O)
3. Bitter beer = 20 gallons + 11 grams (CaSO4-2H2O) + 5 grams (CaCl2-2H2O)
Second enter your grains into EZ Water Calculator or equivalent program to determine if pH adjustment is needed. EZ Water Calculator shows the effects of the proposed adjustment addition.
Third add a yeast nutrient as per directions for your magnesium levels.
These three RO waters have the needed 50 ppm of calcium for the mash. The low salt content makes refreshing beer. Try it.
I know off topic, but where's the OP?
