This is kind of a guessing game every time. Need to learn more on knowing exactly what salts to add. However, wanted a strong Ca for fermentation and strong Cl for the malt to come through.

Notes

Going for an Ayinger Oktoberfest with this beer. Using 2633 and 34/70 yeast blend. Will have to make two seperate starters for this medium bodied beer and may harvest yeast to make big dopplebock next. All german ingredients minus the cara/crystal 60 and 40.
