Typically I use RO water and adjust to suit; until I visited a brewery not even a mile from home and befriended the guys. We got to talking about water chemistry and what they do and the guys all said they add nothing and that our Crown Point, Indiana Lake Michigan water is perfect for brewing as is. They fill the tanks the day before brewing to evaporate (I believe they said) chloramine. So I dialed up my water supplier (Indiana American) and got all the mineral specs. But after entering the info into the "Water Report Input" page, I've got an error that the water report is unbalanced; so I'd like to know if you guys can see if something is awry with my numbers, or if I should ignore the error.
Here are my water specs:
Calcium - 35
Magnesium - 12
Sodium - 10
Bicarbonate - 169 (I'm guessing this is the issue)
Carbonate - .1
Sulfate - 25
Chloride - 20
Thank you!
Cheers!
