Trying to get to grips with water treatment when brewing one gallon stove top batches. I'm planning an American pale ale at the weekend and would appreciate if anyone could check the figures. It will be Maris Otter/crystal/Vienna with Magnum, Amarillo and Citra. I'm aiming for Ca=110, Mg=18, Na=16, Cl=50, SO4=275 (Randy Mosher's ideal Pale Ale). Thanks in advance.

That's an enormous amount of sulphate, I'd be inclined to tone this down to below 200 to give a max 4:1 so4^2- /cl- ratio
 
That's what I thought when I looked at the volume of salts. Would this be more appropriate for a session pale ale with an up front hop profile?

Meh, looks OK to me or possibly light on chloride. Less than some of Graham Wheelers profiles over in his water calculation tool on Jimsbeerkit. I tend to use his Dry Pale Ale profile.
