I decided to change to another source of water for brewing and this is how it looks like
Ca: 10.19
Mg: 2.56
Na: 2.65
Cl: 3.32
SO4: 6.02
HCO3: 42.7
pH: 7.2
I am planning on brewing an ESB with Maris Otter and a combination of English Crystal malts to get the colour and hopefully a bit of flavours from the crystal malts.
Thse are additions I have come up with:
Mash water: 2.7 gr CaCl2, 5.2 gr MgSO4 and 0.5 ml Lactic Acid 80%. ( 70:110 / CaCl2:MgSO4 )
Add 1 gr of table salt. ( Not sure if needed as I do not have Gypsum )
pH Target: 5.35
Sparge water with 2.5 gr CaCl2 and 5.1 MgSO4 + 1.2 ml Lactic Acid ( 80% )
Would this water be good for brewing? This is actually my question or is it lacking something in terms of minerals and salts?
Thank you for reading.
