Target Water Profile

Balanced Profile II

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.
