So heres my report:
Ca-9
Mg-2
Na-10
Cl-9
S04-12
CaC03-22
So I plan on adding 2oz acidulated malt to the mash.
Strike vol: 4 gal
Sparge vol: 4.6 gal
I plan on adding:
2.4g CaCl2 - strike
2.8g CaCl2 - sparge or boil
What I estimate after adding salts:
Mash pH: 5.55
Ca-52
Mg-2
Na-10
Cl-85
S04-12
Cl/S04 ratio-7.12
Does this look ok for a brown ale?
Is it true that dark beers need higher alkalinity as a starting point?
