So I am brand spanking new to water profiles and additions. I want to brew a blonde ale and I'm having trouble trusting some of the calculators out there. My water profile is
Ca+2 Mg+2 Na+ Cl- SO4-2 HCO3- CO32-
32.0 9.0 16.5 19.8 93.3 38.900 0.000
I'm trying to figure out what additions to make. I'm not even sure I'm doing it right, but I'm getting 5g of calcium carbonate. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
