Target Water Profile
Amber Balanced (Bru'n Water)
Ca+2 Mg+2 Na+ Cl- SO4-2 HCO3-
55 10 10 63 75 40
LA: .5 mL/gal strike, .4 mL/gal sparge
gypsum: .2 g/gal both
epsom: .2 g/gal both
CaCl2: .4 g/gal both

thoughts: 55 calcium is on the low side, so to avoid adding too much Mg, make up some of the SO4 with gypsum. still only hits 75 ppm Ca and 16 ppm Mg.
