I went to our local sanitation district office and got a water analysis for our area, but it contained little of the necessary info pertaining to brewing.
My question is, how do I go about asking for an analysis of the specific compounds needed in brewing? If i understand correctly, I would need to know:
In ppm:
Calcium (Ca)
Magnesium (Ma)
Sodium (Na)
Sulfate (SO4)
Chloride (Cl)
Silica (SiO2)
Iron (Fe)
As well as:
Total Hardness
Total Alkalinity
Im not a chemist, so I want to make sure I'm asking the right questions and furnishing the correct info to get what I need. If anyone can help out, or let me know what else I should ask about my water, any help is appreciated
Thanks!
