Start with carbon and micron filtered Sacramento tap water. Then add the following to achieve the above London Porter water profile: 0.5 tsp Gypsum, 1.0tsp Calcium Chloride, 3.0 tsp chalk, 1.0 tsp baking soda. I add half to the mash water and half to the sparge water.

Notes

Final volume to fermenter was higher than planned but so was efficiency. Mash stayed around 152 for most opf the 60+ minute mash. The following 20 minute recirculate/mashout step really helps efficiency. What went into the fermenter smelled and tasted great, can't wait for the yeast to go to work. I'm curious if this porter may not be very "roasty" and if I may consider using roaster barley next time.
