I've tried to read up as much as possible on water quality, and downloaded and messed around with Bru'n Water, but was wondering if anyone could quickly scan my Ward Labs report and let me know if I really need to treat the water to make Pale Ales. IPAs, and modest pale ales are about all I brew. I understand that my water is soft, but my pH looks fairly decent. Any advice? Thanks in advance!
