I received my Ward Labs water report and entered in all of the data in Bru'n water. I added a grain bill of 95% Golden Promise and 5% Rye. In trying to do the adjustments to match the target water adjustment of a pale ale, I noticed that first the Sodium shows -7.0 and the cell is red, but I cannot figure out if I need to worry about it. Next, as I add things like gypsum, epsom salt, and calcium chloride, my sulfate increases well above what the target water adjustment should be. There was no way to avoid it best I could tell.
Is there something that I am doing wrong or does this look okay? I feel like I haven't been able to lower my pH much either.
