I'm trying to improve on my IPA's hop flavor and bitterness by adjusting RO water. I have previously only used bottled spring waters with barely acceptable results, so this is a first attempt using Bru'n Water. I'm leaning towards the more bitter side but not to high in Sulfate for a first try.
Starting with RO water and ion concentrations of "0" additions are:
10.5gal. total 5gal. mash/5.5gal. sparge
14.75# 2 row
.75# 60l
.50# carapils
Mash water: 6.8g Gypsum
2.5g CaCl
Sparge/Boil: 7.4g Gypsum
2.8g CaCl
CA/118
S04/199 Ratio3:1
Cl/63
Mg/0
Na/0
Mash PH/5.3
Does this appear close or am I not getting it..
