I just got off the phone with the chemist at the Cleveland Water Department. This is their current profile:
Name: Cleveland, OH
PH: 7.70
Ions:
Calcium: 33.00
Magnesium: 7.10
Sodium: 10.70
Sulfate: 44.00
Chloride: 20.00
Bicarbonate: 97.60 (calculated using HCO3 (ppm) Alkalinity as CaCO3 Divide by 50 and multiply by 61)
I'm wondering if there's anything that should be done to tweak things. I'm using a campden tablet as I'm heating up my mash water. I was also thinking of using a little Calcium Chloride in the mash. Any thoughts? Also, do these numbers look right? He kept saying that they report in mg/l, but doing the conversions put these numbers much higher than I expected
