So here is the spreadsheet filled out if you'd like to take a look
My water:
Calcium - 29
Magnesium - 8
Alkalinity as CaC03 - 61
Sodium - 7
Chloride - 10
Sulfate - 8
Water PH - 7.5
Beer SRM - 47.7 (morey)
Basically from what i'm getting i need to increase my alkalinity by 434. I've read i need to use a combination of CaC03 and NaHC03 to achieve this. But when I use CaC03 it also increases my hardness which i don't need?
I'm new to this, so I could totally be wrong on how i'm using this. Any help would be appreciated on how I could be adjusting my water for very dark beers.
