I brewed a toasted coconut porter with peanutbutter powder. It tastes great but when compared to a Maui Coconut Porter mine has a salty taste. Trying to identify the cause of this. Any ideas?
My city water profile
Calcium (Ca) 51.0 109.8 Bicarbonate (HCO3)
Magnesium (Mg) 20.0 0.0 Carbonate (CO3)
Sodium (Na) 72.0 160.0 Sulfate (SO4)
Potassium (K) 3.8 72.0 Chloride (Cl)
Iron (Fe) 0.0 1.5 Nitrate (NO3)
0.0 Nitrite (NO2)
0.8 Fluoride (F)
PH 7.6
Water adjustments I diluted with 60% RO water and added 2.5g of calcium chloride to get
Calcium 53
Magnesium 8
Sodium 34
Sulfate 65
Chloride 89
Bicarbonate 54
PH 5.2
I do BIAB, added Calcium Chloride to the water while heating up for mash. The peanut butter powder (about 16oz) went in to the end of the boil.
