Hi all,
I?m brewing an All-Grain American Brown Ale and currently figuring the best water chemistry and have come to a difference on what I get from beersmith and from Palmer Excel/Graph
The Water Chemistry I have from a previous batch is:
Ca: 96 ppm
Mg: 7 ppm
Alkalinity: 165 ppm as CaCO3
Na: 64 ppm
SO4: 64 ppm
Cl: 123 ppm
R.A.:92 ppm
According to my recipe Beersmith predicts 23 SRM (Which I think is close to what I get from previous batches)
Now the thing is that when I put that Chemistry in Beersmith it says it works for a color range of 13-18 SRM, and when using Palmer spreadsheet I get 19-37 SRM range. Do you know why is this difference?
For reference attached an snapshot of BS and Palmer link: http://howtobrew.com/assets/img/assets/Palmers-Water-Adj-Gallons-4pt0.xls
Any advice is very much appreciated, thanks
Enrique
