My water profile is crazy.
pH 7.4
Ca 70.5 ppm
Mg 33.5 ppm
Na 3.8 ppm
SO4 7.6 ppm
Cl 4.3 ppm
HCO3 410!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wow that is really high bicarbonate.
What in the crap should I do for a light golden ale or lager with this water? If I boil to parcipitate the HCO3 then I lose all my calcium, I think. Adding calcium back either takes my sulfates higher or my chlorides higher depending on my source for the calcium. Is this a problem that could easily be corrected by filtration better than boiling and adding back chemicals???? I have never been a water guy only using RO before with chemicals added. I would really like to use my water, but wonder about that high a HCO3 level. Any help would be great.
