Ok I know my tap water is on the hard side, and I have heard to look at the water quality report for my area. The latest report is here (PDF) http://www.dallascityhall.com/pdf/dwu/WQR07_english.pdf
It looks like it only goes over contaminants and nasties rather than the kinds of things that my brewing software asks about...
calcium, bicarbonate, magnesium, sodium, chloride, sulfate, alkalinity
Maybe these factors are in this report and I am just not enough of a chemist to figure it out. Any help is appreciated, as I'd like to enhance my brewing experience. I just ordered a culligan RV inline filter to draw tap water through. Amazon.com: Culligan RV-500A Recreational Vehicle External Water Filter (Includes Standard Hose Fittings): Home & Garden It should be here in time for my next brewing session. It should make a difference over using straight from the tap.
cheers
