I'm trying to figure out what brewing salts to add to my water to create a good profile for a pale ale with an SRM of 9.
If you could take a look at the water I have to work with and let me know what you think I should do, it would be greatly appreciated.
Starting Water (ppm):
Ca: 67
Mg: 27
Na: 41
Cl: 41
SO4: 159
HCO3: 172
Mash / Sparge Vol (gal): 5 / 4
RO or distilled %: 0% / 0%
Total Grain (lb): 11.6
Mash Water / Total water (ppm):
Ca: 67 / 67
Mg: 27 / 27
Na: 41 / 41
Cl: 41 / 41
SO4: 159 / 159
Cl to SO4 Ratio: 0.26 / 0.26
Alkalinity (CaCO3): 141
RA: 77
Estimated pH: 5.67
(room temp)
I was thinking of adding some chalk, about 13 grams for 9 gals
Thanks alot
