Nice water. May be a little more mineralized with Na, Mg, and Cl than you might want for a light lager of some sort. But its a decent starting point. The residual alkalinity might be a little problematic for light colored beers, but a very minor acid addition will easily correct that. For many styles, this will produce a fine beer.

Check out Bru'n Water for more guidance and tools for working with your tap water.

Bru'n Water is a serious spreadsheet...Gonna take some time to figure out the ins and outs of playing with my water.
 
Bruno water was to much for me. I would rather worth the number by hand. Nice water btw. Remember to triple the sulfate.
