Sodium 10
potassium 1
calcium 31
Mg 6
CaCO3 103
SO4-S 5
Cl 3
CO3 <1
HCO3 84
tot alk 0.21
iron <0.01
pH 7.8
Everything looks pretty good except for the Nitrate level. It is from a well. I suspect agriculture related issues are causing the increase in Nitrate. No off taste that I can tell but if I use water from the fridge filter it does taste very slightly better. Is this level a concern for brewing? Is there a way to remove some of the Nitrate if needed? Should I just relax and keep brewing? And no slam to agriculture, it brings us food, clothes, medicine, beer etc
