Anyone know the specifics on the water in Somerville? I brewed two batches over the last two

Berkshire Brewing's Oktoberfest is an excellent marzen. But I might be biased :)

Hey all,Brewin this right now. Actually about to sparge. No stuck mash but it is taking its
sweet ass time, haha. Not a problem as I have a brew and the Sunday paper! Plus it's lovely
out. Hope I have...
