I am going to make a IPA, and I want to adjust my water (for the first time)
Chloride 34.6 mg/l
Calcium 18.4 mg/l
Sodium 16.2 mg/l
Sulphate 12.3 mg/l
Magnesium 9.0 ppm
Total Hardness 2.0-3.5 grains (35-60 ppm) (as Carbonate)
+++++++Carbonate 8.0 ppm
+++++++Bicarbonate the balance ppm
Total Alkalinity 43 ppm
Ph 8.8-9.2 (from hydrated lime addition for corrosion)
The pH looks high to me. What should i add? I have Beer smith, so i can make the necessary tweaks.
thanks,
