Hi all, I'd like to start paying attention to my brewing water and making adjustments as needed. I got my water report and tried to input it into Brun Water (v1.13) but when I do it says my water report is unbalanced. I can get it to balance if I convert the cations from CaCO3 to ppm but my water report says it lists all values in ppm, not CaCO3 so I feel like there is something else that I'm doing wrong. Any advice on getting Brun Water to work is appreciated.
Also I'm planning on brewing an IIPA tomorrow and am also looking for feedback on the overall quality of my water. I feel like I need to add some gypsum, just trying to figure out how much. Thank you!
Here are the numbers from the report (in ppm):
Calcium: 116
Magnesium: 6
Sodium: 18
Bicarbonate: 111
Sulfate: 30
Chloride: 25
Nitrate: 0.5
Flouride: 0.7
Total Hardness as CaCO3: 127
Total Alkalinity as CaCO3: 111
pH: 8.3
And a link to the report if that helps: http://fortworthtexas.gov/uploadedF...011_Water_Quality_Report/2011 WQR English.pdf
