After a few emails to the County, I received a detailed spreadsheet of the water report for my water source (most of the time anyway). I was attempting to use the Bru'n water sheet to help me calculate any additions I need but what my county sent me doesn't always match to what the Bru'n water sheet is looking for. For example, I have a Manganese level but nothing about Magnesium. I also have Sulfide and not Sulfate. In any case, I am hoping that someone here can shed some light on things for me. Chemistry was never my thing and despite reading various articles about water, I am still struggling to make sense of it. Below is the report for my source:
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Edit: If this belongs in the Brew Science forum, could a mod please move it there?
Thanks
