Help with Water Report

[roccobrews]

Hi all. Followed is a copy of my well water analysis. I've been using bottled spring water for my 5 gal full boil extract brews and have been wanting to switch over to my well water. Does it look Okay for extract brewing and eventually AG? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Merry belated Christmas. Rocco

Your profile looks close to what would be found in Pilzn. Looks to be a great source to build from for just about any style.

I have water envy!

I bought an RO system just to have water similar to yours.

It's perfect for extract brewing, and will be great for all-grain brewing as well. The "water primer" in the top of the Brew Science forum will help you with the AG water, and give you pointers on the needed additions.

Thanks for the feedback all! Great news. The money saved using my own water can get me ramped up for AG sooner. Cheers.
