Brewing Water Spreadsheets
We have also put this information directly into the Bru’n Water spreadsheet. You can download the file and use it with the values already inputted, but for more info on the spreadsheet, check out the Bru’n Water website. You can use the basics of this spreadsheet in Google Sheets, but for full functionality you will need to use Excel.
We use Bru’n water for all of our pH and water calculations. Below is a YouTube video covering everything you need to know to get started using it.
