I have brewed a handful of AG batches and have been happy with results. In effort to continue to learn, i decided to get a water report from Ward.
These are the results. I am curious as to what you guys think.
pH 7.5
Calcium (Ca) 64.0
Magnesium (Mg) 24.0
Sodium (Na) 15.0
Potassium (K) < 1
Bicarbonate (HCO3) 269.0
Carbonate (CO3) < 1
Sulfate (SO4) 18.0
Chloride (Cl) 36.0
Nitrate (NO3) 7.5
Total Alkalinity (CaCO3) 220
Total Hardness (CaCO3 260
I have been experimenting with Bru'n Water, but am struggling to grasp how i can lower my mash pH effectively, as right now it appears to be in the 6.1 range. It seems i can't get there simply by diluting with RO, yet when i attempt to add supplements, things get even worse.
Any insight is greatly appreciated. I have learned a lot from this site. It's a great place.
Thanks,
Tony
