Water Profile for IPA

[remuS]

Hello -

I'm kind of new to water additions and am looking for some input on the water profile for an IPA.

The water profile reported by the city is as follows.

Averages
12 Ca
18 Mg
24.3 Na
41 Cl
49.4 S04
55 CaCO3
Ph 9.6

I plan on adding .5ml Lactic Acid to get the PH down along with 15 grams of Gypsum to get the Ca and S04 up.

Do these additions seem reasonable for an IPA? Is there anything else that I should do?

Thanks for the help.

Without a volume specified, the 15 grams doesn't help illustrate what you are doing. I prefer to discuss what the final ion concentrations are.

Hello

I'll be using about 7 gallons water total for a final volume of 5 - 5.5.

Thanks
