About to take the leap into all grain brewing, so I figured ill pull up my water report and try to decipher it.
Parameters for Home Brewing
Calcium (Ca) ppm 3.9
Magnesium (Mg) ppm 0.7
Alkalinity (as CaCO3)1 ppm 16.0
Sulfate (SO4) ppm 2.4
Chloride (Cl) ppm 3.2
Potassium (K) ppm 0.2
Bicarbonate (HCO3) ppm 9.8
pH s.u. 7.9

My water report actually has a specific homebrewing section (Last page) pretty neat.
I've read How to brew and Complete joy, however this is still jibberish to me. I'm not really going to concern myself with the water chemistry too much for the first couple batches (Doing BM SWMBO Slayer Belgian Blonde for my first batch.) But it'd be nice to know what styles of beer I should be able to do without too much tinkering. Or if it is even needed.
Thanks!
