I got a water report reflecting most elements except Hardness is expressed as CaCO3 instead of HCO3 which makes using Brewers Freind difficuilt. I'd appreciate some help.
pH : 8.05
Hardness as CaCO3 : 72.36
The following elements are in mg / L :
Ca : 16.87
Cl : 10.11
Mg: 7.35
Na : 7.92
SO4 : 16.7
What I'd like to know is which style is the water suited to as is ?
If I wanted to brew a stout what do I need to add and how much ?
Same if I wanted to brew a pilsner ?
Any other comments to help me understand water analysis would be appreciated.
