Today I will be attempting my first shot at playing with water additions. Up until now I have always used RO water and added a generic pack of salts from the homebrew store. I want to try to dial in my water and PH level though so I pretty much have to learn about water profiles. I am only doing a 3 gallon batch today because this will end of at about 9% ABV and it would take me forever to drink 5 gallons of this. Also since it is seasonal, I am not going to want to drink it much past January so I will save a few for next year and not worry about having to store a bunch of beer for next year. (We live in a small house). I also am reusing my yeast cake from the porter I just brewed which was the first time doing this.
Here is my water profile. I am going to be posting this to Homebrewtalk.com to get some feedback. Hopefully I am doing this correctly.
I don't have any other pictures from this brewday as most of the pictures are pretty much the same. I will be sure to post a picture of the finished product.
