Alright fellas,
I just got my well water analysis from Ward Laboratories, which I learned about here on HBT, thanks...
Here it is:
pH 6.5
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) Est 46
Electrical Conductivity, mmho/cm 0.08
Cations / Anions, me/L 0.6 / 0.5
Sodium, Na 8
Potassium, K 1
Calcium, Ca 3
Magnesium, Mg < 1
Total Hardness, CaCO3 12
Nitrate, NO3-N 0.9 (SAFE)
Sulfate, SO4-S < 1
Chloride, Cl 2
Carbonate, CO3 < 1
Bicarbonate, HCO3 22
Total Alkalinity, CaCO3 18
Fluoride, F 0.39
Total Iron, Fe < 0.01
"<" - Not Detected / Below Detection Limit
So, in my limited understanding, my water looks softer than Pilsen.
What would you do with my water... I know a lot depends on style but what would be a good middle of the road "house" addition to brew most beers on the lighter end of the spectrum.
Thanks guys
