So I just recently got into looking at my brewing water and possibly adjusting it. The reason for that was all my darker beers turned out great and complex. While trying to make anything remotely hoppy and lighter in color was muted and basically tasted the same. So here's my water report, any help would be greatly appreciated:
Calcium: 15 ppm
Magnesium: 9ppm
Sodium: 11ppm
Chloride: 8ppm
Sulfate: 2 ppm
Bicarbonate (hco3) 150ppm
I started treating with campden tablets for chlorine removal. I did use some gypsum, calc. Chloride and Epsom salts in my last IPA. Used bru'n water but didn't know what values or ratios I was shooting for. Thanks in advance. I live in Elk Grove California by the way.
