When specific water profile ingredients are unavailable:
| Target Profile | Key Minerals | Style Application |
|---|---|---|
| Burton (UK IPA) | High sulfate (500+ ppm) | Enhances hop bitterness perception |
| Dublin (Stout) | High bicarbonate, low calcium | Enhances roast character |
| Pilsen (Czech Pils) | Very soft water, near zero minerals | Clean malt + delicate hop |
| London (ESB) | Moderate bicarbonate + chloride | Rounds malt, softens bitterness |
| Generic Neutral | 50–100 ppm Ca, 50 ppm Cl, 100 ppm SO4 | Works for most styles |
Quick mineral guide:
When converting an all-grain recipe to extract (or vice versa):
| Grain format | → Dry Malt Extract (DME) | → Liquid Malt Extract (LME) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 kg base malt (75% brewhouse efficiency) | ~0.70–0.75 kg DME | ~0.85–0.90 kg LME |
| 1 kg base malt (70% efficiency) | ~0.65–0.70 kg DME | ~0.80–0.85 kg LME |
Colour guidance:
PPG reference:
Exceeding these limits causes lautering, attenuation, or flavour problems:
| Adjunct | Max % | Effect if exceeded |
|---|---|---|
| Flaked oats | 20–25% (30% for oat stout) | Stuck sparge, excessive starch haze, cloying body |
| Flaked wheat | 30% | Stuck sparge, protein haze issues |
| Flaked corn / maize | 30% | Astringency, poor head retention above 35% |
| Flaked rice | 25% | Thin body if over 30%, stuck sparge risk |
| Flaked barley | 20% | Excessive beta-glucan — very sticky lauter |
| Lactose | 3–8% | Cloyingly sweet above 8%; does not ferment |
| Table sugar / sucrose | 15–20% | Thin body, "cidery" character above 20% |
| Honey | 10–15% | Floral aroma washed out above 15%; thin body |
| Rye malt | 15–20% | Extremely sticky sparge above 20%; add rice hulls |
| Smoked malt (beechwood) | 30–50% | Overwhelming smoke above 60%; blend to taste |
| Acid malt (Sauermalz) | 3–5% | pH drops too fast above 5%; bitter/sharp |
General rule: Always add rice hulls (200–400 g per 20 L batch) when using >15% flaked/unmalted adjuncts to prevent a stuck sparge.
