Please overlook my water profile

[JBrady]

Hello Guys, I promise this is my last water adjustment post for awhile, LOL. I have tweaked Moshers Pale Ale profile for my Rye IPA brewday and want someone to look over it to make sure I haven't screwed up. This will be my first attempt at a water adjustment. Its basically Moshers Pale profile adjusted for bitterness and SRM with the EZ water spreadsheet. Here is what I have come up with:

Adjustments (grams) Mash / Boil Kettle::
CaCO3: 0.9 / 0.9
CaSO4: 5.9 / 5.9
CaCl2: 1.6 / 1.6
MgSO4: 3 / 3
NaHCO3: 1.7 / 1.7
NaCl: 0 / 0
HCL Acid: 0 / 0
Lactic Acid: 0 / 0

Mash Water / Total water (ppm):
Ca: 123 / 123
Mg: 16 / 16
Na: 27 / 27
Cl: 44 / 44
SO4: 256 / 256
CaCO3: 83 / 83

RA (mash only): -14 (4 to 9 SRM)
Cl to SO4 (total water): 0.17 (Very Bitter)

I may have to adjust my sparge water additions slightly after I do a little more figuring on how much sparge water will be used but my PPM numbers should stay along the lines of what I have here. How does this look for a 75IBU rye ipa? thanks once again for any info, I'm sure some of you are tired of my water questions lol.

bump for education, lol

It appears people are taking your post title literally

I would help, but don't know much about it.

LOL I hear ya!!! I have pretty much beat this thing to death the last week or so trying to learn water chemistry.

Is there like a water profile starter thread? I'd be interested in learning some more. Maybe a podcast or something?

I learned most of the stuff I know playing with brewater 3.0 water chem program, brewersfriend.com water calculator, and search old posts on here.
