I just got my tap water profile, and I feel very excited finally knowing the exact numbers. It looks like this:
Ca...........51
Mg...........21
Na............2
Cl.............3
SO4..........9
HCO3........244
CaCO3......200
ph 7.75
By now I mostly brewed pale ales, and I would appreciate your help to adjust that water for that style.
Is dilution with distilled water really needed here? Is there a way to avoid it somehow? I know that this water is highly alkaline, but still... maybe there is a chance to brew with it just like that?
How would you adjust this water to brew some pale, hoppy beer?
Thanks!
