Hey guys,
As the title suggests, could someone knowledgeable let me know if I need to make any changes to the water I brew my beer with?
I understand that there are different profiles recommended for different styles of beer.
As I generally brew IPAs, that'd probably be a good starting point for this discussion, but feel free to add extra knowledge about other styles of beer too.
I'm a bit of a water-profile novice, so any help in this area would be greatly appreciated Are there certain salts/compounds that add to the mouth feel and flavour of the beer?
Here's my water profile:
I understand that the Ph needs to ideally be around the 5.2 mark, which can be achieved in different ways (most easilly by using the Ph Stabilizer, like this one: https://nationalhomebrew.com.au/beer/brewing-adjuncts-and-beer-enhancers/five-star-chemicals-52-ph-stabliser-440g). I'm more interested in finding out about the different parts that may affect the flavour of my beer.
Thanks very much in advance,
Martin
Edit - just clarified that I'm not talking about the Ph level.
