Water is 80L with above additions - NOT just to mash except for Lactic Acid which is added to Mash only.

Actual Figures after additions are:

Ca 153
Mg 14
Na 86
Cl- 145
SO4 150
HCO 215

This is my first time adjusting Carbonates (using a combination of Baking Soda and Chalk)

I have usually just left this and my tap water level is really low at 46.
