Hi all,
I am new to all grain and I live in Las Vegas which has terrible hard water. I’ve been making extract and mini mash kits for 10 years using RO water. I’ve been reading up on all grain brewing and plan to use RO water profiles with BeerSmith additives to match various water profiles by adding designated amounts of gypsum, salt, epsom salt, calcium chloride, and baking soda.
My question is: Will there be enough zinc or copper from the mashing of the grains to provide adequate nutrient for the yeast or should I get yeast nutrients?
Thanks for any advice or information.
