Does this sound and look right? Only the second time I have adjusted water, and the first time was from my day to day changing tap water. Now I have a RODI system, and am starting from scratch.

I want a Sulfate/Chloride ratio to enhance maltiness of my recipe. Thanks

Chalk won't help you. I suggest that some other alkalinity increasing salt be used.
