BS Forum Members,
I tried using vitamin C (ascorbic acid) to remove chloramines from my tap water. It takes about 1,000 mg of vitamin C (ascorbic acid form) to remove chloramines from 40 gallons of water or 0.125 g for 5 gallons. I have a 0.1 g resolution scale, so probably add too much. Mash PH came out quite low. I saw posts about adjusting the lactic acid addition by dividing by 1.65 and will try that, but I'm wondering if the software can account for vitamin c additions.
