For my next Ale I'm am running up to the foothills to get 15 or 20 gallons of spring water which runs continually from a spring in the Cascades. People have been stopping by there for drinking water for years and it truly is the best water I have had.
However when it comes to brewing is there anything I should add to the water, Salts, Gypsum,ect. just for good measure? I don't want to shell out for an analysis.
I have a digital PH meter and some "next to worthless" test strips for alkalinity, hardness and some unrelated pond testing parameters.
Maybe the water doesn't need anything.
Thanks
Update: Here are some of the parameters I have tested. PH 7.33, GH around 50 or 60ppm, KH also around 50 or 60ppm.
