Looking for a little help. I think I have done this right, but not sure. Here is what my water report looks like.
Total Alkalinity: 54 mg/L
Chloride: 30 mg/L
Hardness, Calcium: 74 mg/L
Hardness, Total: 121 mg/L (does not say Magnesium it says Total, so I am guessing that I have to subtract the total number from the Calcium number to get approx 47 for Magnesium, please correct me if that is wrong.)
pH: 7.1
Sodium: 29 mg/L
Sulfate: 84 mg/L
Is that the right way to figure out how much Magnesium is in the water?
I think if I calculated right that I am looking at about 3 to 5 SRM? Is that right? If I want to brew stouts I need to increase my residual alkalinity by 200+ppm by adding Chalk or Baking Soda to brew beers in the 25 SRM range?
