Thanks much, this helps a lot.

I have ward labs report as well as a lamotte test kit report. The information is in my water profile. I use the calculator that pulls up in the recipe section of brewers friend. Do you treat your sparge water as well as your mash water?

My method of brewing is to treat my strike water to a desired profile without using any bicarbonates in most cases. I use lactic acid to make the adjustment to achieve a 5.4 PH mash. I treat my sparge water to the same profile and use acid to arrive at a 5.4 ph. How do I use subject calculator...
