I tried posting this in the "Science" section, but didnt get any responses, thought I would move it over here...
Got my water report for Fairfax County Va. Here is what it says:
Calcium: 34.4
Magnesium: 9.5
Sodium:21.8
Chloride: 29.0
Sulfate: 46.3
Ammonia: .61
Nitrate: 1.0
Nitrite: BQL (Below Quantitation Limit)
PH: 7.4
Bicarbonate: 82
Carbonate:0
Total Alkalinity: 82
What the Heck does all this mean? I've tried searching and cant find anything that makes sense, (I'm sure the answer is probably staring me right in the face, I'm just to thick headed to see it). Man, if you had told me that Chem would have helped me make beer back in school, I would have paid much better attention! Is my water any good for making beer? Is there anything I should add to it? Do I need to find out more information that I have listed here?
Thanks guys for all your help!
