Yes, I've finnaly reached that point where I want to wrap my head around water chemistry. Using the brewersfriend water chemistry calculator if I want to make a pale beer a 1:1 tap to distilled would get me pretty close to to 50 ppm Alkalinity. Adding 1 tsp of CaCO3 chalk would make up for the diluted levels of Ca. Before I go and screw up what would have been a pretty good beer anyway; I just wanted to see if others here that have been in the water game longer than I agree.
Here is the Jacksonville water report:
Ca Mg Na SO4 Cl HCO3
Jacksonville, FL 70.3 31.0 15.8 152.9 21.7 139.3
Thanks for any help.
