Target Water Profile
Bull Run Watershed
Ca+2 Mg+2 Na+ Cl- SO4-2 HCO3-
2 1 2 10 1 9
Bull Run Water Supply Water is first disinfected with chlorine, entering the
system at about 2 parts per million (ppm). At the end of the disinfection process, sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH) are added to the water. Sodium hydroxide (at a dose of
3.5 to 5.0 ppm) is added to raise the pH slightly(approximately 1 pH unit). This helps prevent corrosion of household plumbing and lowers the amount of lead and copper that can leach into the
water. Ammonium hydroxide (aqueous ammonia) is added (at a dose of about 0.35 ppm as NH3-N) to form a long-lasting chloramine disinfectant residual.
Chlorine and ammonia are used in a ratio by weight of approximately 4.9 to 1.ply

WARNING: Kettle losses > 2% detected which throw off OG calculation for extract/partial mash recipes in batch target 'fermentor' mode. Solution: Reduce kettle losses, misc losses and hops absorption in equipment profile, OR set batch target to 'kettle' and do a full wort boil. See batch target FAQ.

Notes

requires "2" yeast vials to achieve required cell count for proper fermentation. At this level you will still be 6 billion cells short.
Another possible alternative would be to purchase one yeast vial then make a starter equivalent to the shortage.

Strike water should be at 168.5 degrees.
