I use distilled water as Omaha water varies seasonally.

**The below is considered only when mashing**

MASH WATER ADDITIONS:
1.5g gypsum (CaSO4)
0.75g Epsom salt (MgSO4)
3.0g calcium chloride (CaCl2)
1.0g baking soda (NaHCO3)
.5g slaked (pickling) lime (Ca[OH]2)

~Stir pickling lime into mash, all others dissolved in cool water first.~
Alkalinity = 81 and RA = 15.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The above was used when building H2O from distilled. Will now just simply use tap water, with campden tabs and a little CaCl2 added (2 or 3 grams) and we'll see if all the hoopla before was worth a damn...
 
Notes

Notes to self, if no one else:

~Stir mash @ 5 min. Temp/pH @ 15 min. Will calculate strike to hit 154F so after stirring (well) will settle around 153F.
~Slow down. ...Valve positions.
~Ensure minimum 6 gallons in BK towards end of boil.
~Aerate wort well. Repeat.
~Dry yeast version here. Use 2 packs and rehydrate.
~Primary fermenter 12-14 days then cold crash 2-3 days before kegging.
~2.1 volumes CO2 at 44F is 10psi.
