Target Water Profile
Light colored and hoppy
Ca+2 Mg+2 Na+ Cl- SO4-2 HCO3-
75 5 10 50 150 0
Actual City Water:
Ca+2: 32, Mg+2: 15, Na+: 55, CL-:110, SO4-2: 55, HCO3-: 55-70 pH: 8.6-9
990 ppb Free & Total Chloramides/Chlorine Lab tested
After Home filtering: 20 ppb Free & Total Chlorines Lab Tested

Filtered Water Used (Primo):
Ca+2: 6, Mg+2: <1, Na+: 2, CL-:10, SO4-2: 1, HCO3-: 5-6 pH: 7.3
ND Chloramides or Chlorine

So I have decided to use 50/50 mix Primo and Home Filtered water
Ca+2: 19, Mg+2: 7, Na+: 28, CL-:60, SO4-2: 28, HCO3-: 30 pH: 8-8.15
10 ppb Free & Total Chloramides/Chlorine

and
Adding 1/2 Tablet of Campden 275 mg of Potassium Metbisulphite
to deal with the Chloramides/Chlorine
Adding 5 grams of CaSO4 (Gypsum)
to increase SO4 to Cl- Ratio (looking to ensure 3 to 1)
@ beginning of batch

and
1 Whirlfloc Tablet
@ last 5 minutes of boil

Quick Water Requirements
Water Gallons  Quarts
WARNING: Boil kettle capacity (12 gal | 48 qt) exceeded. Volume required: 12.88 gal (51.5 qt). Suggest reducing initial water volume to 11.15 gal (44.6 qt) and adding 0.88 gal (3.5 qt) sparge/top-off.    
WARNING: Mash tun capacity exceeded. Volume required: 13.07 gal (52.3 qt). Suggest reducing initial water volume to 11.44 gal (45.76 qt) and adding 1.07 gal (4.3 qt) sparge/top-off. 12.51 50.1  
Heat water added to kettle (equipment estimates 12.04 g | 48.2 qt) 12.51 50.1  
Mash volume with grains (equipment estimates 12.04 g | 48.2 qt) 13.07 52.3  
Grain absorption losses (steeping) -0.88 -3.5  
Mash Lauter Tun losses -0.25 -1  
Volume increase from sugar/extract (early additions) 0.86 3.4  
Pre boil volume (equipment estimates 12.03 g | 48.1 qt) 12.5 50  
Volume increase from sugar/extract (late additions) 0.85 3.4  
Boil off losses -1.5 -6  
Hops absorption losses (first wort, boil, aroma) -0.38 -1.5  
Post boil volume 11 44  
Going into fermentor 11 44  
WARNING: Kettle losses > 2% detected which throw off OG calculation for extract/partial mash recipes in batch target 'fermentor' mode. Solution: Reduce kettle losses, misc losses and hops absorption in equipment profile, OR set batch target to 'kettle' and do a full wort boil. See batch target FAQ.
