Malty Amber Foundation

Amber and Vienna-style beers sit in the middle of the water-chemistry spectrum. Go too soft and the malt feels hollow; go too sulfate-heavy and you mute the caramel notes that define these styles. This blend lands on the Vienna-inspired profile: balanced calcium, moderate sulfate, just enough bicarbonate to support medium-Lovibond crystal and Munich malts. One pouch into 5 gallons of RO or distilled water gives amber beers the mineral frame they need.
