Palmer's spreadsheets uses Alkalinity as CaCO3 but my water reports doesn't list that. Is there any way I can calculate that value based on the water report content below?
Heres my water report.
Chlorine residual 2.32 mg/L
PH 7.3 Units
Fluoride .86 mg/L
Chloride 51 mg/L
Nitrite ND
Nitrate 1.2 mg/L
Sulfate 16 mg/L
Lithum ND
Potassium ND
Sodium 16 mg/L
Calcium 28 mg/L
Magnesium ND
Copper ND
Iron ND
Manganese ND
Zinc .18
Lead ND
Alkalinity 36 mg/L
Hardness 95 mg/L
Total Solids 186 mg/L
Total Suspended solids .6 mg/L
I brewed two brews today a scottish 60 shilling and a English original bitters and my mash ph was 4.7. I use a carbon water filter which takes care of the chlorine but I'm wondering if I can be making better beers by tweaking my water during the mash.
Thanks,
JD
