Hello all,
I received a report of the distribution averages for my city's water, and they are as follows:
Alkalinity 89.7 mg/L
Ammonia Nitrogen 0.1 mg/L
Calcium 35.7 mg/L
Chloride 30.5 mg/L
Magnesium 8.88 mg/L
Organic Nitrogen 0.2 mg/L
Potassium 1.55 mg/L
pH 7.72
Total Dissolved Solids 189 mg/L
Sodium 16.3 mg/L
Sulphate 27.3 mg/L
Total Hardness 127 mg/L
The one thing that seemed to be missing from the report was the Bicarbonate levels. From reading John Palmers "How to Brew", it would seem that most all my levels (Calcium, Chloride, Magnesium, Sulphate) are under the recommended levels. Does this mean I am going to have to supplement my waters minerals?
Any help you guys can provide is appreciated, as this water science stuff is very new to me!
