Hello everyone, I have a doubt related with salts for water adjustment.
I use brewfather to calculate the amount of salts I should use to manipulate the water. The point is, there is any limitation on the quantity of salt we should use?
I usually manipulate the water with Magnesium Sulfat, Calcium Sulfat and Calcium Chloride.
I will give you an example. For my next brew brewfather is recommending me to use:
7g (0,25oz) of calcium Sulfat in 30l (8gal) of water
7g (0,25oz) of calcium chloride in 30l (8gal) of water
4g (0,14oz) of magnesium Sulfat in 30l (8gal) of water
Reading salts instructions, is saying to don’t use more than
51g/30l (1,79oz/8gal) of calcium Sulfat
1,2g/30l (0,042oz/8gal) of calcium chloride
2,4g/30l (0,084oz/8gal) of magnesium Sulfat
As you can easily see, brewfather is suggesting me to add calcium chloride and magnesium Sulfat Volumes above the manufacture instructions.
Let me hear your thougths and opinions.
