Hello,
I just received my water report from ward Labs and want to see if someone could help me with it.
To this day I have been brewing with a mixture of spring water and RO and have been adding salts. I mainly brew hoppy beers and some stouts / porters.
I got the report done so that I could use my well water and save some money if possible.
pH - 6.4
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) - 338
Electrical Conductivity, mmho/cm - 0.56
Cations / Anions, me/L*- 5.7 / 5.0
Sodium, Na - 45ppm
Potassium, K - 14ppm
Calcium, Ca - 46ppm
Magnesium, Mg - 13ppm
Total Hardness, CaCO3 - 169ppm
Nitrate, NO3-N - 4.3 (safe)
Sulfate, SO4-S - 7ppm
Chloride, Cl - 104ppm
Carbonate, CO3 - <1ppm
Bicarbonate, HCO3 - 79ppm
Total Alkalinity, CaCO3 - 65ppm
Total Phosphorus, P - 0.11ppm
Total Iron, Fe - <.01ppm
Is this good for any style in particular?
From my initial viewing it looks like I will definitely have to dilute it with some distilled water.
Any input would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Ben
