I'd like to brew the "Black Scapular Dubbel" from "Brewing Classic Styles". I could use some help, though, with the water. I brew with 100% RO and use Bru'nWater. Could someone suggest a good target profile for this beer?
A second related question. I've tried to figure additions based on the Chimay profile but had trouble getting the Sulphate low enough while also getting Calcium high enough, using Gypsum and Calcium Chloride. I got Calcium to around 20ppm, but I've heard that 40 is generally needed. Is that true, or is 20 OK in this case. Many thanks!
