I recently got my water profile back (Hanover, VA) and was using John Palmer's Water Adjustment calculator. I'm going to be brewing an American Pale Ale so was playing around with the values to try and get them in 'suggested range'. As I'm new to tweaking my water, can I get some advice from those of you who have used this spreadsheet before? Do I really only need to add 3 grams of gypsum? Here are my initial values:
Calcium (ppm): 8
Magnesium (ppm): N/A
Alkalinity as CaCO3: 40.9
Sulfate (ppm): 38.2
Chloride (ppm): 12.9
Sodium (ppm): 35.8
Water pH: 7.8
I'm using water volumes calculated via BeerSmith of 2.97gal mash and 4.65gal for sparge.
For the sparge, its recommending 5 ml hydrocloric.
Thanks for suggestions!
