Greetings!
I am getting ready to make a batch of orange blossom mead. I have been reading the "What I Learned at NHC" sticky and find the Meadmaker of the Year handout to be extremely helpful. I do have one question though.
The handout says that the water should have 250-500ppm as carbonate. I always use RO water when brewing beer and intend to do the same with this batch of mead. Can someone please explain to me how to add 250-500ppm of carbonate to my water? John Palmer says not to use Calcium Carbonate because it will not fully dissolve. What would you recommend? I really appreciate your assistance. Thanks!
