I am using your water spreadsheet so I appreciate your input on this. The converted SO4-S would have a value of 3ppm or leave it at 1ppm?

Thanks

Yes, these are PPM as follows: Sodium, Na 6 Potassium, K < 1 Calcium, Ca < 0.1 Magnesium, Mg < 1 Total Hardness, CaCO3 < 1 Nitrate, NO3-N < 0.1 (SAFE) Sulfate, SO4-S < 1 Chloride, Cl 3 Carbonate, CO3 < 1.0 Bicarbonate, HCO3 12 Total Alkalinity, CaCO3 10 Total Phosphorus, P < 0.01...

Just got my results from Ward Labs. I have softened water that then goes through an R/O filter. As I input values, is there an effective difference between a value of 0ppm and <1, <.1 or <.01?

Any know the interior dimensions of the Danby 11 cu ft freezerless refrigerator? The manufacturer has been less than helpful and I can’t find one in-stock to measure.

I feel like the oxygenating iron filter is taking care of the hydrogen sulfide, although it could just be in comparison to how bad it had been before. The water would likely sit in the HLT for a while as it will take about 8 hours to fill with an RO filter in place so that should deal with...

Is hydrogen sulfide a deal breaker? I hate the thought of buying and installing an RO system to still not be able to use the water.

But an RO system treating the softened should get me to a low mineral base line that I can then adjust to be suitable?

I do have an oxidation iron filter after the softener. I guess the question is whether its better to make brewing water with softened water or try to treat the raw water.

Looking for guidance on producing the best brewing water. I draw water from a private well that taps into a single source aquifer. The well water is hard (450 ppm total hardness), smells of rotten eggs (hydrogen sulfide), and tastes like blood (iron and manganese). I have a whole house softener...

Makes sense. Thanks.

And then bottle with a beer gun; when the bottles are chilled to serving temp they will be under carbonated correct?

First controlled fermentation.

Next up is an STC1000 build for it.

Yep, upright in the back of a pickup with two ratchet straps. Used a forklift to load it but BIL and I unloaded it by hand. Manual says the 2 door weighs 400lbs.

Gave the underside a good vacuuming and the inside will be disinfected. I have a friend of a friend who is making a "Got Beer" sign for it.

No kidding, I have no excuses now. Looks like I will be able to fit two 14gal conicals in it. Or a conical and two carboys stacked.

Just picked this up in great shape for under 300.

Now I see what you are saying.

I was just looking at the Brewers Hardware NPS element adapter, I will probably go that route as it looks like the cleanest and safest way to wire the element.
