As a home brewer I have tried to get a handle on the water I use to brew. Each time I look into this topic I never get a resolution. I did get a Water Report from my city and it does not contain the Ions needed for home brewing, ie Ca(Calcium), Mg(Magnesium), Na(Sodium), SO4(Sulfate), CI(Chloride) and NCO3(Bocarbonate). I called the city water department and they claim they do not check for this. I just got done reading an article in the March/April issue of Zymurgy on Home Water Analysis Kits. The article shows these kits are maybe not that accurate. So again I have no resolution. I have been using a BeerSmith water profile. What are other home brewers doing on this subject?
