Hi all, I was able to obtain more detailed water report by emailing my water company and requesting a report for my road. For all my beers that I've brewed I been using Poland Springs water (from what I'm told it's close to the characteristics of R/O water) and was thinking of switching to my water if it's ok for brewing.
Now that I have more detailed numbers and not the "general" report you get from their website, do you think it would be suitable for brewing? Here's the numbers (ppm):
Calcium - 12.8
Mag - 2.9
Sodium - 17.6
Chloride - 22.9
Sulfate - 18.8
Hardness - 43.9
Alkalinity - 16
Is the Alkalinity the same as PH? I did a quick google search and it seems not but I'm not sure how it will effect my water for brewing. The PH wasn't emailed to me but the PH from the report online is 6.7 - 8.
Thanks in advance!
