Hi,
I want to brew jamils Bavarian Weizen: http://beerdujour.com/Recipes/Jamil/JS_Bavarian_Weizen.html
I have access to two different types of water: I sent both types into WARD labs and here are the results.
My filtered (filter from morebeer.com) tap water profile looks like this:
pH 8.6
TDS 490
sodium 97
potassium 3
calcium 44
magnesium 20
total hardness, CaCO3 193
Nitrate <0.1
Sulfate 38
Chloride 99
Carbonate 12
Bicarbonate 152
Total Alkalinity 145
Fluoride 0.89
Total Iron <0.01
Now, I also have free access to Sparkletts Purified Water
Their profile looks like this:
pH 7.4
TDS 47
Sodium 8
Potassium < 1
Calcium < 1
Magnesium < 1
Total Hardness CaCO3 < 1
Nitrate 0.1
Sulfate 2
Chloride < 1
Carbonate < 1
Bicarbonate 12
Total Alkalinity 10
Fluoride 0.09
Total Iron < 0.01
"<" -not detected/below detection
My process: I fly sparge and brew for 5 gallons. i shoot for 75% - 80% efficiency.
I'm new to fussing with my water profile so help with this one would be of great assistance.
thanks in advance.
