I'm on the planning phase of a 55gal oak barrel aging project as a tribute to a friend who had passed. I am planning on brewing a porter and I was asked by his wife to include something from Yuengling Brewery and Jack Daniels so I wanted to look into water profiles for my water source. Is there any brewers near Lynchburg TN as well as Pottsville PA that know their water report and willing to share? Thanks folks.
 
I live about 55 miles away in middle TN. Here's my water report from the local municipal source:
pH 8.0
TDS 214
Na 6 ppm
K 1 ppm
Ca 58 ppm
Total hardness CaCO2 166 ppm
NO3-N 0.9 ppm (safe)
SO4-S 5 ppm
Cl 12 ppm
CO3 6 ppm
HCO3 172 ppm
Total Alkalinity CaCO3 151 ppm
 
That area is geographicly the same so I really don't see the water being far from yours. Thanks a lot, this will help be figure a few things out.
 
By looking at this, when making dark beers do you add chalk it calcium chloride to your mash?
