My local water report reads as follows:
Ca: 72
Mg: 24.5
Na: 10.0
S04: 46
Cl: 5
HC03: 317.2 I got this from John Palmer's calculation in How to Brew.
Alkalinity listed as CaC03 on report: 260
I've been using RO water with salt additions to fine tune my water profiles for my last 5-6 beers. Am I wasting my time? Can I use the water I already have for certain styles or should I be cutting the water with RO water?
I try to brew lots of different styles of beer but I'm most interested in brewing dark lagers such as Doppelbocks and Munich Dunkels in the near future.
Thanks for any help.
