Firestone Extravaganza

I understand what you were saying now ozwald.
Thanks.

But I still don't totally understand what they mean by just saying "RO water treated with Gypsum and CalciumChloride to 100ppm"
That just isn't enough info for a complete water profile... it is only part of it.

I really wish Palmer would just go thru EVERY style in Brewing Classic Styles and give a "Target Water Profile" for each one !!
Then you would have some idea what to shoot for for a IPA and what to shoot for for a Stout, etc.
I have kind of figured it out on my own, and learned as I go, but it sure would be nice to have a TARGET for each one.

Any one have any ideas on the 2nd question I posted about the SUPER LOW mash pH that Brynildson said they shoot for ??!?!?

No problem. It was the phrase 'very handsome men' that did the trick, wasn't it?

So what does anyone think the Sulfate : Chloride ratio should be for Firestone DBA ? .75:1 ? 1:1 ? 1.5:1 ?
How about for Union Jack ? 3:1 ??

Thanks !
