Target Water Profile

Edinburgh (Scottish Ale, Malty Ale)

Ca⁺²	Mg⁺²	Na⁺	Cl^-	SO₄^-2	HCO₃^-
100	18	20	45	105	235
Water built from 100% distilled water. Na, Cl and SO4 are just out of range, but I wanted a more balanced profile, SO42-/Cl- ratio: 1.1 Balanced Used chalk, hoping the chalk will work as the mash rest time continues. Mash PH is on the low end at 5.4 I chose a lower RA, 106 over a higher mash PH. Raising the mash PH to 5.5 gives an RA of 145. With a SRM of 20 a lower RA made more sense.

Notes

Take 1/2 of first running's, and set aside in separate boil pot.

Sparge as usual and add all of the sparge to the other 1/2 of first running's, use this as the main wort. Start boiling the main wort and add hops as usual. Add 12 oz. DME to the main wort only.

Boil the set aside 1/2 of first running's and reduce by 1/2 while boiling the main wort.

Add the reduced 1/2 (1/4 by now) of first running to the main wort.

Boil time is an hour for the main wort, add water if needed to make a total of 1.5 gallons after an hour of boiling.

Aerate for 10 min. after cooling wort, then pitch yeast and add 1.5 oz. of Fermaid O.

Aerating a second time approx. 8 - 10 hours after pitching yeast.
