I am researching building up my brewing water by taking distilled water and adding my salts to hit my exact water profiles. Let's take this profile for example:
Amber malty:
Ca 59
Mg 6
Na 14
SO4 50
Cl 45
HCO3 76
Where do I find each of these minerals? I see that I can take Epsom salt to get both my Sulfate(SO4) and Magnesium(Mg), but Epsom salt isn't in the correct proportions as listed above. Same with Calcium Chloride. Its proportions of Calcium:Chloride do not match the above values.
Is it possible to buy each of these minerals straight up? Or am I going about this all wrong?
