Help reading water report?

DUCCCC · Jan 31, 2008

Anyone have an idea what I look for in a county water report?

There's a PDF file at this link:
http://www.brunswickcountync.gov/Portals/0/bcfiles/Water_Report_2006_Final.pdf
that has details about the water I am hooked up to. I wonder how it stacks up?

Thanks,
Matt

The water report doesn't really have enough info relevant to brewing. You need to know ppm for calcium, magnesium, bicarbonate primarily to determine residual alkalinity, but it's also good to know sulfate, sodium, and chloride (which yours gives).

You could send a sample to ward labs if you really want to know.
