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

Warm; cuddly; you can take it for a walk or just drink it while you hangout in the dog house. Makes you want to fetch another soon after obtaining the first one.

Needs either yeast starter or "3" pacman 1764 packets to achieve required yeast count for proper fermentation.
