I am brewing my first batch adjusting the water chemistry this weekend and will be using Brun Water
I got my additions all set to get the water profile I want, but there is an option on tab #3 (Water Adjustment), next to the sparge water additions
It says:
Add CaSO4 & CaCl to replace Chalk & Lime in Sparge Water? with the option to check or not When checked, it adds gypsum and calcium chloride in the sparge to supposedly balance the Sulfate/Chloride ratio, desirable if the raw water was under 40ppm Calcium. (Mine has a raw value of about 33ppm, adjusted up to 60ppm).
Should I have this option checked? When should I or should I not use it? I have yet to find a clear explanation of this.
Appreciate the help!
