11.5lbs pale

Gypsum 1.5g
Cacl. .25g
Espsom. .50g
Lactic acid .40/ml

For 7.5 gallons of RO water I would add more on the order of:

Gypsum, 5 g.
CaCl2, 3 g.
zero lactic acid
zero Epsom Salt

It won't be very pale if you add 1 lb. of 60L caramel malt to it. 10L would likely be a better choice. And perhaps only 0.5 to 0.75 lbs.

The suggestion I offered above should get your water to roughly a ballpark of 100 ppm SO4 and 50 ppm Cl and 70 ppm Ca.
