Thanks for the feedback. I didn't even notice that adding the calcium chloride increased the Cl. I removed and decreased the amount of Gypsum to 6 grams. Seems like it is more in line now, at least back to my source levels. Is it critical that I try to reduce my NA Cl levels even more...

Happy to see this thread has provided some valuable info for others regarding water profiles and the calculator. I've read more into it and I think I'm understanding it a bit more! Below is a link to my water calculation. Hoping to get some feedback on a) whether I did it correctly and b) my...

Good to know! I was looking at that water profile drown down menu also.

Thanks! I make note to focus on calcium carbonate and gypsum to boost calcium while researching.

Thanks for the feedback. What's a good calcium target? What should I be adding during my brew session to make it better/balanced/on target? I did add this to my water profile. When I am creating/editing a recipe how does selecting my water profile affect my recipe? Does it alter other aspects...

Makes sense. I'm open to trying a 60 minute mash. I'll do some research on ph levels. Is the range contingent on the type of beer you are brewing?

Hey Brian - Yeah, I mashed at 152 for my last brew, a rye brown ale. I only pushed it up in order to make the the FG and ABV more in line with what I'm trying to achieve. Benefits of a lower mash? I chose 90 minute because I read elsewhere that a 90 minute mash allows for optimum extraction...

Hey J A Thanks so much for reviewing and providing some feedback. I like your suggestions on the hops. I spent a lot of time making adjustmens trying to affect the IBUs. Certainly a learning curve to this, so knowing to tweak hops a bit is a huge. Yeah, not sure what I was thinking on the boil...
