I'm taking on my first ever water build this Sunday with distilled water, mineral salts, and acidulated malt. I've read the water primer and done other research but still a bit 'uncertain' that I've got everything nailed down at this point. I'm brewing a Surly Furious kit from NB, and I've never had the original beer. It has been described as balanced but obviously is an IPA with a lot of hops. No information that I track down on their water profile so came up with my own with the help of some others and the EZWatercalculator spreadsheet. Any advice for me on areas that need tweaking or things that I'm clearly missing?
CA 98 ppm
MG 15 ppm
NA 22 ppm
CL 91 ppm
SO4 178 ppm
CL/SO4 ratio .51
4oz acidulated malt (2% of grain bill)
PH 5.4 (at room temp)
Additions to get to the above numbers.
5.2 g CaCL2
4.5 g MgSO4
5.6 g CaSO4
2.2 g NaHCO3
