Is there a reference on how to build water from RO water. I felt that it would be easier to build water from a blank sheet than adjusting my local water. I have purchased the following brewing salts. Sodium Chloride, NaCL 99.9% pure; Magnesium Sulfate MgSO4, 99% pure;Sodium Bicarbonate NaHCO3 99% pure; Calcium Chloride; and Gypsum.

  * Do I have all of the salts necessary to make brewing water from RO Water?
  * Is there a cookbook method of adding the above ingredients specifying how many grams per liter for different styles of beer?

I appreciate the in depth discussion within the "Water - a comprehensive Guide for Brewers" but the chemistry is above my comprehension level.

Is it realistic to have a cookbook approach to building water for different styles of beer. I am more interested in how to build the water instead of why the ingredient interplay make the water appropriate for the specific style.

Thanks,
Dan

Download the free spreadsheet and read the instruction tab twice. It's an excellent guide to building your water.

The water knowledge tabs are also excellent.
