Hi all,
I'm brewing a relatively simple IPA tomorrow and still can't figure out the whole water thing. My tap water is bad so I'm starting with distilled water. I have nothing I'm trying to build towards; just something basic and suitable for a pale hoppy beer. Unfortunately all I have on hand is calcium carbonate, gypsum, and household basics like salt. My grains are already crushed and contain 2% acidulated malt.
Given that I won't be able to go to my LHBS for any other salts, what's my best bet for this? I tried to figure out with the ez water calculator but ended up more confused
