Target Water Profile
Moebius Well Water
Ca+2 Mg+2 Na+ Cl- SO4-2 HCO3-
24 13 17 0 2 197
Added no salts to my well water. The recipe recommended adding 5g Gypsum if using reverse osmosis water. My well water has a fair amount of calcium AND I am using an extract recipe so added salts would likely have little effect anyway!
Quick Water Requirements
Water Gallons  Quarts
Heat water added to kettle (equipment estimates 6.32 g | 25.3 qt) 5.75 23  
Mash volume with grains (equipment estimates 6.32 g | 25.3 qt) 5.92 23.7  
Grain absorption losses (steeping) -0.26 -1  
Volume increase from sugar/extract (early additions) 0.5 2  
Pre boil volume (equipment estimates 6.57 g | 26.3 qt) 6 24  
Boil off losses -1.5 -6  
Hops absorption losses (first wort, boil, aroma) -0.07 -0.3  
Post boil volume 5 20  
Going into fermentor 5 20  
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

I used Philip's home grown Cascade hops for the flameout and dry hops. No idea what the AA is for those hops, but we shall see how they perform. All other ingredients were purchased from Northern Brewers. I did not want to chance ruining the liquid yeast during shipment from MN to MD, so I substituted Safale S-04. It's not a great match for the recommended Wyeast 1187 (Ringwood) or the other recommended yeast White labs WLP-005 (British Ale)...but it will have to do!
