I will be brewing a russian imperial stout this week and built the following water profile:
5 Gallon Batch
2 Row Pale Ale Malt 13.2
CaraRed 1.6
Roast Barley 1
Black Patent Malt 1
DME 2
I'm using RO water. I'm using EZ Water Calculator 3.0.2
5.5 Gallons Mash
3.5 Sparge
For Mash:
Gypsum 1G
Calc Chlo 3.5G
Epsom 3G
Baking Soda 1G
For Sparge:
Same ratios as above adjusted for 3.5 Gallons
Result:
Ca 57
Mg 13
Na 13
Cl 81
SO4 83
Cl/So4 .98
Est PH 5.51
Is anyone else using Ez_Water_Calculator3.0.2?
What are you using for water profiles, calculations?
It seams that the lactic acid addition calculation is way off
I rarely need to do any PH up according to the spreadsheet.
I don't have a pH meter, I had pH strips, but they were wildly inaccurate.
Any help appreciated.
