HI Brad, I'm wanting to make mineral adjustments to my local water profile to match other profiles, like Burton on Trent for an IPA, or perhaps London's water profile to make a Porter or
Stout.
I'm just not sure if I'm doing the adjustments correctly. So if I could run my process by you and get your input, I would appreciate it.
My local water
Ca 3.5, Mg 0.0, Na 5.4, So4 4.6, Cl 2.3, Hco3 28.06
(Alkalinity as CaCo3 23 multiplied by 1.22= 28.06 ?)
Burton on Trent water profile
Ca 295.0, Mg 45.0, Na 55.0, So4 725.0, Cl 25.0, Hco3 300.0
I then add the following minerals to get close to the Burton profile
18 grams of Gypsum
10 grams of Epsom Salt
2 grams of Calcium Chloride
5 grams of Baking Soda
7 grams of Chalk
Once I inputted the additions the calculator gave me these totals
Ca 289.5, Mg 37.1, Na 56.8, So4 532.3, Cl 38.6, Hco3 321.6
I'm wanting to know if I'm on the right trail or not.
Any input would be welcomed.
