don’t know. The mash is also quite dark, so maybe they put dark crystal Instead of medium Crystal. The RO water itself was about 6.5ph.
also didn’t have any baking powder so left that out.
advice needed. First RO brew tomorrow

Looking at your additions for RO water what jumps out is 8 g gypsum! 4 g Epsom salt! You don't need Epsom salt, the grain will provide your magnesium content. 2.5 g of chloride I would have matched with gypsum so 2.5 g of gypsum and 3 g of acid 10% phosphoric or lactic acid. Depending on the amount of crystal, which I presume wouldn't have been much that should have got you in the ball park. Baking soda you wouldn't need.

Yes will cut back on the gypsum and maybe Epsom salts to then. The beer is a deep copper colour so more crystal that I thought. The high levels of gypsum were to match the calcium levels in the water profile I was chasing!
Next few brews are all pales but will still need to cut back.
