Target Water Profile
Balanced Profile

0 0 0 0 0 0
5g/5gal CaCl2 and 3g/5 gal CaSO4
Cl - 24 drops x 10 (25 ml) = 240 ppm Cl

SO4 - 5 ml sample + 5 ml diluent 100 ppm x 2 = ~150-200 ppm

Ca hardness - upper line 30 drops x 10 = 300 ppm Ca as CaCO3
320 x 0.4 = 128 ppm Ca

Total hardness - upper line 38 drops x 10 = 380 ppm total hardess as CaCO3

Alkalinity - 25 ml 14 drops x 10 = 140 ppm total alkalinity as CaCO3

Formula in instructions
Sodium = 119 ppm
19.2 ppm as Mg+2

Notes

OG 1.068 ~5.75 gal

ferment at 65°F
9/7/2019 - SG 1.020 - turned off cooling; set Brew Jacket to 70°F
taste - nice even malt-hops; tastes like a good green beer
caramel, toffee hint of banana(?)
a little sweet with a very small hop bitterness step
