Closest match with these salts; it can't reach Ca 96 mg/L vs 85.7, Mg 12.4 mg/L vs 28.9, SO4 45.9 mg/L vs 38.5, HCO3 264.2 mg/L vs 308 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.
