I guess this goes here. In my interest of brewing a better Scottish Ale with the ingredients I have access to, I was wondering what aspects of my water could throw the quality off.
1) what aspects of brewing water make for classic Scottish ales?
2) Here is my tap water info (mg/L):
Free Chlorine 0.35
Alkalinity as CaCO3 36.6
Phosphorus, total <0.01
Sulfate 12.6
Calcium Hardness as CaCO3 42.5
Total Harness as CaCO3 49.1
Conductivity (µmhos/cm) 113
pH 7.94
(other amounts available at http://fcgov.com/water/pdf/dw-bottled.pdf )
Thank you for the help
