Here's the report, questions to follow:
Chloramines 1.74 - 2.47
Haloacetic Acids (HAA5) 14 - 33
Total Trihalomethanes (TThm) 11 - 63
Barium .015 - .015
Fluoride .78 - .78
Manganese 4.1 - 4.1
Nitrate (Nitrogen) .19 -.19
Sodium 16 - 16
Atrazine 0.65 - 0.65
Copper 1.3
Lead 0
When asked what I needed it for (concerned that I was putting in a water softener), I told him brewing, he wrote down 10 gram hard. (Although his hand writing looked like 10 gran, i assumed he meant gram.)
I know from reading the forums that a Camden tablet will take care of my Chloramines, it seems the only other reading I can use from this is the sodium and the hardness.
About the hardness. 10 grams seems to be a lot. What do you all think?
Im using the Liquor Treatment Calculator from jimsbeerkit.co.uk and Palmers Mash RA Excel spreadsheet to do my calculations but I don't know how to express 10 grams hardness in them to get my calcium reading.
Im looking to brew Pale Ales, Heffeweisen, Kolsch not the really darker beers.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Anyone else using the same water source as me?
