Hi there!
I have been brewing for a few months and now requested some values from our local water supplier regarding our water quality.
They said the water comes from various sources and these can change throughout the year.
But they were able to narrow the results to the following here in Germany:
pH-value 8,0 ? 8,5
Ca 28 ? 34 mg/l
Mg 6 ? 9 mg/l
Na 10 ? 12 mg/l
Sulfate 27 ? 30 mg/l
Chloride 17 ? 18 mg/l
Hardness 5 ? 7 ?dH
acid capacity 4,3 1 ? 1,6 mmol/l
Sooo.... first of all. Are these values ok or is something too far off?
And secondly, how would I go about entering them into BeerSmith which requires parts per Million?
I just noticed bicarbonate (HCO3) is missing from the list he sent me. I asked for it but they didn't add it and also do not have it on their website for the general public. Is this an important factor I should research?
Thanks in advance!
Phillip
