Thanks buddy!! I was looking for this exact info. Looks like Baltimore's water is pretty low alkalinity, which is good for lighter or light amber beers. I did some calculations using John Palmer's Excel Spreadsheet found at the bottom of this page To make a very pale ale, SRM 1-6, add about...

Two Qs: 1- how are you cleaning/sanitizing your bottles? 2- how are you priming your beer for bottle conditioning?

thanks, good point. Hopefully I'll get a wort chiller soon and it will be moot

Thanks, man :mug:
