Hey all,
Was asked to post in this sub forum instead given the content/nature of the question so here it is:
I have searched high and low and can't find anyone on this forum who has really posted anything specific about a higher than desirable sulphate content.
I have a feeling that my municipal water (other than Chlorine content) would be great for my favourite style of beer. IPA/APA. My only concern is actually my sulphate content, and how to deal with it.
Here is the water quality report:
Calcium: 50 ppm
Magnesium: 26 ppm
Sodium: 73 ppm
Chloride: 28 ppm
Sulphate: 223 ppm
Alkalinity (CaCO3): 136 ppm
Any suggestions on how to deal specifically with the sulfate? I could cut it with RO, but it would compromise the rest of the mineral profile. I could add CaCl2 to get my Chloride/Sulphate ratio up, but my Chloride and Calcium content gets all out of whack (210 and 153 ppm respectively).
So.
Any suggestions as to how to deal with it reasonably without compromising the rest of the mineral profile? Or if I'm off base and should use half RO please advise. Would love it if you could point me in the right direction here.
Thanks in advance!!
