Hello All,
Hope this is in the correct forum. I have been a fan of using either distilled or RO water for my brews. My water here is just no good and even had it tested by ward labs. The magnesium is very high. It hasn’t been to much of a pain only needing 8 gallons or so. I am in the process of upgrading my setup and now brew 10 to 15 gallons so I want to go away with the bottle distilled water, but they replaced the RO system at the store with a new one called Hylyte Akaline H2O. I sent them an email asking if they had a profile for their water. The response I got was
Quartz
Calcium Carbonate
Magnesium Dioxide
Sodium Chloride
Copper
Zinc
Iron
i believe the PH is 8.8.
would you use this water with these minerals at trace amounts and not worry?
just treat like normal and get PH down?
i have thought of home RO but don’t know if I want that hassle and storing large containers of RO and the runoff water so it’s not wasted.
TIA

and the minerals aredue to the our proprietary method of remineralization as it would happen in nature, the resulting mineralization levels are variable. All resulting minerals are reintroduced in trace amounts.
