Any good articles or threads discussing this, I’m not talking about a calculator, I do Not have analytics of the water I’m using not have money to send it off for testing.
I’m using water that is sourced from local supply but buying it from a vending machine to fill my own bottles and it used Reverse Osmosis, Carbon Filters, and Ultra-Violet Light to clean the beer. I’m waiting on my new pH meter so I don’t know the pH, and I believe from using for gardening years before the PPM is like 8-10 at most. I might have my ppm meter laying around somewhere I’ll throw up the results if I find it.
So let’s pretend for now the pH is 7.
I have calcium chloride, gypsum, and epsom that I can add. What would I need to add for a 5 gallon batch? Also am I adding it before I mash or after?
I appreciate your help thanks so much.
