Bru'n Water question

[DonBeer]

Hi,

I want to ask if this mineral values are good to insert As Is to the brun water sheet or do they need to be converted?

Im a bit confused with all the different names each mineral has, for example magnisium is Mg on brun water but below my mineral water shows Mg+2

The superscript numbers refer to their charge. Magnesium ions have a +2.

This is not relevant in regards to entering the information into Bru'n water.

So i just enter this values as is great thank

Yep, enter as is. Unfortunately, that water's not ideal to brew with. Can you get RO water instead?

No RO, but i do have accsess to tap filtered water with lower values that i can adjust with salts.

This was a local mineral water bottle and i thought it might be suitable for some styles of beer. Perhaps darker?

If your filtered tap water tastes good and has lower bicarbonate then use it (just remember to treat chlorine/chloramines).

Tough water to use for some beer styles, but it can be worked with. The fact that you now know what's in the water will help you avoid over-mineralizing the wort and helping to neutralize that high alkalinity. Good luck!
