Last week I emailed my water company looking for a report that could be used for homebrewing. This is what they sent me.

No ph is givin on it but on the main report on their website it puts the ph @ 9.4 as of last test.
What kind of additions will be needed for light colored beers?
I put all the info into Brewers Friend and it says I need to add 4g gypsum and 4g calcium chloride along with just under 4.5ml 10% phosphoric acid to my mash. I have 75% phosphoric acid so I only need .38ml of that if that's what I use.
Does this sound right? Anyone with experience with St.Louis water?
