Hello,

For a new nanobrewery I'm wondering about the possibility of using water from a local hotspring for brewing a one off speciality beer..

Can any water experts have a look at the following and tell me if they see anything poisonous or unusable, and if not, do you have any idea what if any kind of treatment or dilution with RO water would be recommended.. Thanks a lot!

(Google translated so the English might look a bit strange)

I'm no water expert and I didn't give it a close look..but from what you are showing it looks like this water is high in several different ions. You would need to have a high dilution with RO to bring them down and into range. At that point would you really brewing with this water?

You should look into several commercially available water analysis programs to determine how to move forward.
