I've recently moved, and have access to a brand new rainwater tank.
So time to update my recipes for the salt additions.
Recipe for 100L batch (BIAB)
100L strike water
12.0 kg Pale Malt BB
6.0 kg Munich II
0.5 kg Crystal
Using the rain water I assume all elements zero, and tested pH is 7.1 at 22c
I'm looking at the additions
25.0g Calcium Chloride
20.0g Gypsum
11.0g Epsom Salt
It's been a while since I've calculated additions, so for the color and wanting an emphasis on a slightly dry and bitter ale, do you think the additions look correct?
QldKev
edit: I should add BeerSmith2 gives me the following
49.6g Gypsum
0.8g Epsom Salt
But that would throw the Chloride / Sulfate ratio way out?
