For example, if the program recommends 6 gallons in the MLT and 1 gram of salts, and the HLT needs 10 gal, then put 10 gallons (or proportionally mixed tap and distilled water) in the HLT and 10/6 grams of salt in the HLT. Once you know the amount of minerals needed to reach your water profile for your MLT, you will need to proportionally add the same amount to the HLT. Ignore the additions recommended for the HLT, because those numbers will generally be based on a lesser amount of sparge water. Set those water proportions in beer smith and determine the salt additions you need in your MLT you reach your target water profile. If you need to dilute your tap water, determine the proportion of distilled needed in order to get the water profile needed for your beer. You can still use Beersmith with a HERMS system, but it will require a little bit of mathematics. I see there is a preloaded 'ANVIL Foundry 6.5 (2.5 gal batch) size' profile so I have been looking it over and have a few questions.

One of the problems with Beersmith is it will not let you alter your sparge water amount if you are using a HERMS system that requires more sparge water than you will use. In the interim, I have since purchased and have been playing with BeerSmith 3 now for about a week trying to understand everything and get my profile set up as best I can prior to using the system for the first time. This way if everything works out, you will not need to keep rebuilding your water profile every time you go to brew a new recipe.

You can then bring that profile into the recipe to match on the 'water' tab according to the actual water volume needed in the recipe. I would start on the Water profile tool to build your water using the materials you have available and then saving that combination of minerals and water supply as a Target Profile. In this case, I would prep all your water together and add the DI water as part of that volume. I am not sure you need to add any DI water (which is close enough to distilled to use that in BS) but you can always add some to enable the addition of more Calcium and Sulfate to the mix. I like the extra space but working with only 15 cloud recipes.

Having both new versions, I can install the new version on 4 computers and can have over 100 receipes in the cloud, up from the 15 I use to.

I have the Android version and have upgraded to the full version 3 and also have a subscription. I would recommend shooting for around 15 ppm of Magnesium as a max and then bringing your Calcium up to above 50 ppm and less than 100 ppm. I have been using Beersmith since version 2. Using gypsum and Epsom salts, you can easily bring the Sulfate content up to a reasonable range. You are just at a spot where you don't want to add too much more Na to the mix.

Looking at your native water, you are not abnormally high in either Na or Cl.
