Fiuggi mineral water profile

Fiuggi is a still water from Italy. Calcium-bicarbonate type, low mineralization. Same water sold as: lightly sparkling, sparkling, still. [Sulfate/chloride research confidence is medium-low - verify against a current label before relying on it.]

How to recreate Fiuggi from RO or distilled water

Mineral salts to dissolve in reverse-osmosis or distilled water, calculated by the BrewWaterSolver solver with the most common homebrew salts.

Salt5 gal (18.9 L)20 L
Calcium chloride (CaCl₂)0.40 g0.42 g
Epsom salt (MgSO₄)0.31 g0.32 g
Chalk (CaCO₃)0.99 g1.05 g
Baking soda (NaHCO₃)0.40 g0.42 g

Closest match with these salts; it can't reach Mg 2.6 mg/L vs 7.8, HCO3 82 mg/L vs 113 exactly.

Chalk (CaCO₃) doesn't dissolve well directly in mash or sparge water without dissolved CO₂ - slurry it in carbonated water (e.g. sparkling water) before adding it, rather than mixing it into still water or sprinkling it in dry, or the calculated amount may not fully dissolve.
