Bru’n water newbie here. I am having problems using the Bru’n water calculator. I have taken screen shots of the tabs to show the water profile and the calculated additions. There appears to be a big gap in terms of the sulfate level and the pH. Please see the questions below.

Q: Why is the Sulfate number so high in order to increase from my brewing water which has 5ppm and the target profile has 300 ppm. Can’t gypsum be added to achieve this?

Tab 5: Adjustment Summary
Q: Why is the mash pH shown as being too low? Doesn’t the addition of the Lactic acid take care of this?
