Hi guys, so I have checked the municipal water analysis of where I live and it says water's got CaCO3 = 293 ppm and Mg=5 ppm. However it doesn't state the Calcium values.

I am therefore lost how to calculate my mash expected ph (by using J.Palmer's How to Brew graph.

Also, I'm brewing a 100% base malts NEIPA, and I guess due to the very high hardness of this water I would end up with a too high mash ph therefore missing the ideal enzymatic value to achieve a good conversion process.

Last, what and how would you recommend me to treat this water for a 100% base malt NEIPA?

A lot of questions I know, but I need your help! Thanks.

Seb
