Hello All.
I will be brewing a second batch of my last beer next week. This batch will have a small gravity adjustment as well as some water adjustments. The beer is a (for lack of a better term) a pseudo German pils (80/20 Pils/Munich) with Mittelfruh hops.
I want to bring out a sharper hop profile commonly found in examples like Bittburger and Left Hand's Polestar among others.
My water before adjustments:
Cal 32 | Mg 2 | Sodium 12 | Sulfate 25 | BiCarb 36 | Chloride 6
I plan to add .5 grams Calcium Cloride and .5 grams Epsom Salts per gallon:
Which, by my calculations (with help from J. Palmer's How to Brew):
Cal 131 | Mg 15 | Sodium 12 | Sulfate 76 | BiCarb 36 | Chloride 69
I feel as though this is a minor adjustment, though I am a little concerned about the Calcium level.
Any input or red flag warnings would be very appreciated. :rockin:
