Hey guys,
I have been brewing with my city's tap water for about two years and I haven't really been concerned about it. However I figure I might as well get into treating my water and trying to understand the science behind all of that. So can any of you guys point me in the right direction or make some suggestions?
Heres some info about my city's water:
2014 AVERAGE VALUES
Calcium (Ca) = 34.6 ppm
Magnesium (Mg) = 8.7 ppm
Sodium (Na) = 14.8 ppm
Sulphate (SO4) = 26.4 ppm
Chloride (Cl) = 25.8 ppm
Alkalinity = 89 ppm
pH = 7.6 pH
Here are the latest UNOFFICIAL results (Tested June 2015):
Calcium (Ca) = 34.1 ppm
Magnesium (Mg) = 8.78 ppm
Sodium (Na) = 13.7 ppm
Sulphate (SO4) = 28.0 ppm
Chloride (Cl) = 26.5 ppm
Alkalinity = 87.8 ppm
Jan 2015 to June 2015 pH range: 7.36 pH to 7.76 pH
Thanks guys
