Yesterday evening I received the water profile info from Ward.
The two set of numbers represent one from the house tap, and the other from the well with a carbon filter.
House tap
pH 5.9
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) < 6
Electrical Conductivity < 0.01
Cations 0.1
Anions < 0.1
Sodium, Na 1
Calcium, Ca < 1
Magnesium, Mg < 1
Potassium, K < 1
Total Hardness, CaCO3 4
Nitrate, NO3-N 0.1 (SAFE)
Sulfate, SO4-S << 1
Carbonate, CO3 < 1
Bicarbonate, HCO3 3
Chloride, CL 1
Total Alkalinity 3
Total Iron, Fe not detected
Well w/filter
pH 6.1
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) 20
Electrical Conductivity 0.03
Cations 0.2
Anions 0.2
Sodium, Na 2
Calcium, Ca < 1
Magnesium, Mg < 1
Potassium, K < 1
Total Hardness, CaCO3 4
Nitrate, NO3-N 0.1 (SAFE)
Sulfate, SO4-S < 1
Carbonate, CO3 < 1
Bicarbonate, HCO3 6
Chloride, CL 1
Total Alkalinity 5
Total Iron, Fe not detected
Do these number look right?
(The water comes from a well, and the ground is clay/acidic.)
What should I be adding to water and/or mash?
Thanks,
