I've been allgrain brewing for about 10 batches. I consistently have dark beers that taste thin and hollow. They lack the richness of good commercial beers. I don't think it's my recipes because I pretty much pull them straight out of Brewing Classic Styles. It only seems to be darker beers, say 12srm and darker.
I've pretty much gotten all the other variables of brewing down, and now I want to get a good handle on water treatment. I'm wondering if treating my water will help fill out my beers.
I only have part of my local water report. I guess I'm going to have to call the city to get more details, but this is what I have. What do you guys think?
Ca2+ 30ppm
Mg2+ 45ppm
Na+ 35ppm
sulphate and carbonate not tested.
