I posted this in the Brew Science section and I'm guessing I haven't got a hit yet because it is a tad too noobish. I just want to make sure that the water adjustments make sense starting with RO water and given the recipe. The recipe doesn't reference the actual starting water. Let me know what you think:
So I'm thinking about brewing the following recipe. A 4.5 gallon batch with that amount of grain should be perfect for my setup and all the ingedients are round:
AmountNameType#
11.00 gGypsum (Calcium Sulfate) (Mash 60 min)Misc1
3.00 gCalcium Chloride (Mash 60 min)Misc2
3.00 gEpsom Salt (MgSO4) (Mash 60 min)Misc3
2.00 gBaking Soda (Mash 60 min)Misc4
9 lbsPale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM)Grain5
1 lbsCaramel/Crystal Malt - 80L (80.0 SRM)Grain6
1 lbsMunich Malt (9.0 SRM)Grain7
1 lbsWhite Wheat Malt (2.4 SRM)Grain8
10.0 ozAromatic Malt (26.0 SRM)Grain9
10.0 ozCaramel/Crystal Malt - 60L (60.0 SRM)Grain10
1.0 ozCitra [13.4%] - Boil 30 minHops11
0.50Whirlfloc Tablet (Boil 15 min)Misc12
1.0 ozCitra [13.4%] - Boil 15 minHops13
1.0 ozCitra [13.4%] - Boil 10 minHops14
1.0 ozCitra [13.4%] - Boil 5 minHops15
1 pkgsSafale American (DCL/Fermentis #US-05)Yeast16
1.0 ozCitra [12.0%] - Dry Hop 7 daysHops17
I noticed there are water adjustments which is something I have yet to dive into being only about 8 batches deep. Can someone tell if these are added to RO water? That would really be ideal as it would be easy to follow and I can try and tell the difference between building a water profile vs just using Ice Mountain spring water.
Thanks!
