I live in Concord MA. water profile here has been excellent the last several years for brewing. just add a little gypsum for hazy IPAs. last year, town switched water sources and now the amount of Na and Cl has skyrocketed. new water profile is below. my question is : is this chloride so high, that adding copious amounts of gypsum will or will not be able to balance the water profile for a hazy IPA? I read that a good chloride to sulfate ratio is 2:1 for hazy IPAs? thoughts?
Calcium = 32 ppm
Mg = 40 ppm
Sodium 188 ppm (up from 30 ppm)
Chloride = 250 ppm (up from 20-40 ppm)
sulfate = 50 ppm
