water profile target for a Vienna lager

[Ron Reyes (Papa Piggy)]

Using the software and I cant seem to see a suitable water target in the pull down menu? maybe the Munich Decarbonated? what do you sugest?

Light coloured and malty. Or 2:1 chloride to sulphate.

Do what Trialben says. If you want to do what Nosy does, adjust your calcium with salts to get to a minimum of 50 ppm calcium. I'd go with closer to 1:1 chloride to sulfate and emphasize noble hops. Then adjust your mash pH using acid - I know, Reinheitsgebot and all - to 5.4.

... Reinheitsgebot ...

So we're allowed to swear on these forums?

The proper response to that word is Gesundheit!
