Help will be appreciated. As this years step in learning brewing, I am trying to learn to manipulate the constituents of water. I have purchased a LaMotte water chemistry kit, and a RO water filter system. But I have several questions.
1) Beer Smith 3 calls for water additions in terms of ( g. ? ) I assume this is grams, and my question is how does this translate to teaspoons ? In other words, 0.5 tsp calcium chloride corresponds to how many g. ?
2 ) A recipe for wheat beers that I was reading suggests the following water profile:
Ca+2 Mg+2 Na+ Cl- SO4-2
100 5 10 100 50
What do those bare numbers mean and how do I translate it to tsp. per 5 gal of RO water ?
There will probably be more questions, as chemistry was never my strong suit.
