Based of Breakfast Stout
Mrs Google says:
"For a sweet stout, carbonates (specifically bicarbonate) are generally more important for balancing the mash pH, while low-to-moderate sulfate levels are preferred to avoid harshness and a dry finish that conflicts with the desired sweet, creamy profile.
A sweet stout should prioritize a soft, smooth, and full-bodied mouthfeel, which is achieved by minimizing sulphates and favoring chloride and carbonates, often with a sulfate-to-chloride ratio below 1.
Carbonates (Bicarbonate) in Sweet Stouts
Role: Carbonate/bicarbonate provides alkalinity, which acts as a buffer to prevent the mash pH from dropping too low due to the acidic dark roasted grains.
Recommendation: A higher bicarbonate level (100–200 ppm) is often recommended to ensure the mash pH remains in the optimal range (around 5.4–5.6) for a smoother, less harsh roast character.
Application: Use baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) to add alkalinity without adding calcium, which helps achieve a softer, more desirable mouthfeel.
Sulphates in Sweet Stouts
Role: Sulphates accentuate hop bitterness and promote a dry, crisp finish.
Recommendation: Keep sulfate levels low (<100 ppm, often <50 ppm) to avoid a sharp, bitter finish that disrupts the sweet and creamy character.
Alternative: If water requires more calcium but low sulfates, use Calcium Chloride (CaCl2) instead of Calcium Sulfate (Gypsum).
The Ideal Mineral Profile for Sweet Stout
To create a sweet stout, the water profile should favor a low sulfate-to-chloride ratio:
Chloride: High (>100 ppm) to enhance maltiness and mouthfeel.
Sulfate: Low (<50–100 ppm).
Sodium: Moderate (around 50 ppm) to increase perceived sweetness.
Bicarbonate: Moderate to high (100–200 ppm) to balance acidity.
Note: For the best results, start with Reverse Osmosis (RO) water and build this profile up to avoid issues with high residual sulfates in tap water. "
