Hi all, I'm starting to slowly get my head around water chemistry.
I brew using tap water which is good for drinking.
I always use Camden tabs to treat for chlorine/chloramine and did use lactic to help drop PH.
I know people say to use RO or distilled, but over here in UK, that stuff is expensive.
I am going to be using Carbonate reducing solution from now on to help drop the Alk without imparting any flavor, but does anybody know if this will lower my overall Calcium levels?
As an average I have about 88ppm from my water report that somebody helped figure out as it isn't actually stated.
My Alk in CaCO3 has an average of 155.
I am brewing a cream ale this week and plan on using CRS to help drop my Alk
in the region of about 40ppm.
I probably sound so stupid asking this question, but using the screenshot, I assume for a mash of 20ltr I would use approx 13ml of this stuff?
I am terrible at math, please don't judge me lol.
