My water is "well water" and is from the city. I have looked at the chemistry and is somewhat close to this. I see no need to adjust.

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.

Notes

WLP028 yeast pitched into a 1ltr flask of sterile "sweetened" water after bringing up to ambient temperature then covered for 12-24 hours prior to mixing into wort. I find this works well and this usually starts fermentation within 8 hours. (Note: boiling reduces O2 content, vigorously shaking flask prior to adding yeast is helpful)

Wort was cooled down to 70 degrees with copper immersion "chiller" before transporting to primary fermenter. Pitched yeast is added and additional sterile water is added to approximate 5 gallons when needed at this step, 10 minutes of aeration is then done. Specific gravity was taken; OG 1.108 (missed target by +.003)

I use a blow-off tube instead of the typical airlock as I find this works well for me. There have been times when the fermentation is robust and I get overflow. (tube is inserted into a gallon jug half filled with star san solution)

Target Fermentation is 7-10 days, will take several SG's before crashing, filtering and kegging.
