I added 5 g of Gypsum and 4.5 g of Calcium Chloride, which balanced my ratio to be “slightly hoppy.” I achieved 5.2 pH balance during the mash.

Notes

Hops from my dad’s garden on the Western Slope of Colorado. A classic pale ale recipe (very similiar to Sierra Nevada Pale Ale or Anchor Liberty Pale Ale) but with a darker crystal (80L) for more raisin like quality in the malt.

Used Denver Municipal water (Uptown) and adjusted with 5 g of Gypsum and 4.5 g of Calcium Chloride. Achieved a 5.2 pH during the mash (which equated to a 90% effeciency).

Effeciency was so good that I adjusted the recipe to be an American IPA rather than a Pale Ale.
