Hi all guys,
I am about to brew Belgian Wit next week. The grain bill is following:
50% Pale malt
20% Wheat malt
30% flaked wheat
The water in my city is highly alkaline so I would like to use bottled soft water with some adjustment. The water profile is:
Ca - 10 mg/l
K - < 1.0
Na - < 2.7
Mg - 0.91
HCO3 - 42.7
SiO2 / H2SiO3 - 13.7 / 17.8
SO4 - 5.4
NO3 - 1.3
Cl - < 1.0
My plan is to add some Calcium but I would like if somebody can advice me which residual alkalinity should I aim.
Cheers and thank you
