For a stout what would you do with this water?
Total Dissolved Solids 470
Phenol Alkalinity as CaCO3 <1.0
Total Alkalinity as CaCO3 115
Total Hardness as CaCO3 149
Chlorides as Cl 177
Sulfates as SO4 71
Fluorides as F 0.87
Silica as SiO2 32
Nitrates as NO3 1.96
Nitrites as NO2 <0.05
Phosphates as PO4 <0.05
Calcium as Ca 43
Magnesium as Mg 11.3
Sodium as Na 105
Potassium as K 7.3
Iron as Fe <0.020
Manganese as Mn <0.010
pH 7.7
I'm thinking I will dilute with RO because of the high chlorides and sodium. I'm just not sure what ratio I should use. I'm also not sure if I should be adding anything back after diluting it. Any help is appreciated... FWIW I have looked at the water primer on this forum, but I'm still feeling a bit confused as to what I should do.
