Some of them were in the 'Water" book by Palmer and Kaminski. Others were in books by Gordon Strong. I also have about eight years of back issues of 'Brew Your Own" magazine, many of which contain water profiles in them. To get the full list was about two years of part time research.

You're welcome. Let me know if you need any help with it.

I have a brewing water calculator that has all the water profiles. Online at www.phantomwingbrewing.com

Of those two yeasts I would definitely use the US-05 for a Kolsch.

I used to have this same problem with the same system. I finally started to do a mash stir two or three times during the process. I would stop the pump, take the wing nut off the post and remove the screens. Using a paddle I would loosen up the grain. This solved the problem for me. The question...

You certainly don't want the sharp bitterness that a Pale Ale would have but their sulfate levels are generally around 225-275ppm, way more than the 80ppm I suggested. The generally accepted sulfate levels for a Dunkleweizen are around 50-150ppm.

Actually, that's not correct. It's the additions needed to reach the target profile that need to be balanced, and they are. It's his starting water profile that appears unbalanced but there are several reasons why this may be. Usually, it's due to the fact that not all ions are reported in the...

Given your base water profile this would be a good target profile for a Dunkleweizen: Suggested Water Profile (PPM): Calcium........................62.5 Magnesium................16.0 Sodium........................11.0 Sulfate.........................52.4 Chloride......................52.4...

I just updated the calculator to include an option for using SRM to estimate pH. Using SRM is really not a very good method for guessing pH but it might get you close depending on your recipe. I also updated the acid model. If anyone finds any errors, please let me know. Thanks!

There’s a water calculator at the address below that answers those exact questions. www.phantomwingbrewing.com

The output does change colors to yellow then red when it gets outside of parameters. There’s also the water quality index which will give you an idea about pushing the limits. But 2 sigma, that’ll have to wait until I retake stats.

Good question. I spent about two years researching these profiles. I read every book, magazine article and periodical I could find. There are no hard and fast rules for a water profile for a given beer style but there are some generally accepted guidelines. With all that research I created a...

I'll work on it. In the meantime though, you can tick the "Generic Profile" box and it will exclude all the inputs. It'll give you a water profile based strictly on style. It will, however, still allow the volumes to be input optionally to calculate salt quantities.

Thanks for the input. It's very much appreciated. The primary purpose of this calculator is to calculate a water profile based on inputs about your recipe. I could not find any other program that actually calculates a water profile for you. There are other programs, like BeerSmith, that will...

I was having issues with the web host. I've changed hosts and security settings so hopefully this works cross platform now. Do you mind taking a look and letting me know? Thanks!

I've uploaded a new version of the program which is supposed to load differently. The first time it loads it might take a while, as much as 10 seconds. Let me know if you still have problems. Thanks.

Thanks. I'll look into it.

Thanks.

It calculates a water profile based on your input. No guessing as to what the profile should be or how to balance the ions.

What browser and what version are you using? It works on Edge and Safari for me. Also make sure that there's an "S" in HTTPS:// Thanks.
