Happy New Year! Im curious if anyone else is using the new water profile tool in the Grainfather App. I brewed 21 batches with my Grainfather in 2020 and absolutely loved it. I enter all my recipes into their app with great success. Now they have a "beta" version of water chemistry calculator built right in! It seems super amazing and really simple to use so far. I have entered my ward lab reports and for a recipe it lets you choose the target profile based on style of bee entered. My well water tastes amazing so in till now I haven't messed much with water chemistry except for when I brew a NEIPA.
So I guess my basic questions are: Is anyone else using this tool and what do you think? And...My issue is that my all my minerals seem so low the app has trouble balancing them enough to fit certain styles. My Water report is below f anyone feels ambitious in analyzing it. Cheers and Happy New Year! Erik
