While looking into the new water tool and realizing the shear power that this tool has to offer I ran across the http://beersmith.com/blog/2016/04/06/should-you-treat-your-sparge-water-for-home-brewing/ link. I, as you state you are Brad am a believer in salt additions in mash and sparge water.
With that said I do not see the option to utilize salts in the sparge water. Also, I as most people I believe, do not use chalk anymore due to the fact that it doesn't blend well in the hot liquor. Therefor, I wonder is there a way to turn chalk as option off when using the Match Target Profile button and add Sparge Water recommendations to the water tool.
While I also see the Estimated Mash PH and I do understand that this is water and grain only, where would one find the estimated Mash PH with acid additions or do we rely solely on the Target PH field as being so?
Beautiful extremely powerful tool. Would love to be able to utilize for sparge water salt additions and eliminate chalk though.
