So I am moving across the country, and have downloaded a water report. Where I currently live, the tap water doesn't taste good so I have been using RO water. Been hoping to use tap water where I'm moving (Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan). This attached water report is from 2012 (I plan on getting a more recent one from them) but I see huge seasonal swings in alkalinity specifically, as well as hardness and some of the other parameters.
How do people deal with this? I'm getting a ph meter, and aren't too worried about mash pH, as I will just use an acid to lower it as required, but how hard will it be for me to build profiles for different styles? I have tried to learn about water (I plan on getting the "Water" book) but chemistry isn't my strong suit.
Thanks
