Not getting any action in the science section so figured Id try it here.
Im trying to understand the water chemistry function in Brewers Friend so I did a test run with Munchers Crème of Three Crop. Below is my current water profile, and my target was Balanced Profile. Does this look correct? Also I'm a little confused in the salt additions section. Are the amounts that I chose the total additions for all of the water combined. If so, how do I divide them up if I don't prepare all of the water together, and the sparge and mash water volumes are different.
Grist
6lb 2Row
2lbs Flaked Corn
.5lb Flaked Rice
3.2 Gal Mash Water
6 Gal Sparge Water
My water Target With Aditions
Ca 12 80 84
Mg 4 5 23
Na 13 25 13
Cl 5 75 132
So4 2 80 79
Alkalinity 63 Alkalinity 9.3
PH 7.7 Mash PH 5.29
Additions
6 Oz acidulated malt to mash
.75 g/g Epson Salt
1 g/g Calcium Chloride
