I tried entering in all the info I have using the tools and calculators but I still cant seem to make heads or tails on what additions I need to make for my water! I want to brew Pliny this weekend and want the best conditions possible so if anyone can help me out I would greatly appreciate it! Here is what I got. And I do have a carbon filter that I run all my water through first. The report has about 20 more items but I dont see any charts that ask for more.
From my tap.
PH 7.69
Total Alkalinity CaCO3 101
Chloride 14.6
Sulfate 28.2
Hardness CaCO3 146
Magnesium 13.3
Sodium 7.8
Calcium 36.7
What is the difference with the two CaCO3's? I know that we have hard water here and I do use the 5.2 powder in my mash. Do these numbers look like I need to worry about anything else. I mainly brew Belgians and Stouts but have recently been going for Pale and now IPA's. I am just looking for water that is neutral for all beers or a close to neutral that I can get if that is possible.
Thanks in advance for any advise!
