All the important minerals are there: calcium, chloride, sulphate, magnesium, sodium, and bicarbonate can be worked out from total hardness. It's good brewing water. As it stands it's geared more towards malty beers with the higher chloride than sulphate ratio, however throwing a few grams of gypsum and perhaps some Epsom salts into the brewing water would increase the sulphate and bring out the hops more. Thanks for having a look!! I think it’s time to get the suggested book and read up on water anyway and take the next step. Thanks everyone Beer Baron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer Baron Posted May 24, 2018 Author Share Posted May 24, 2018 I finally got around to installing my undersink water filter today. It will be interesting to see how the next beer tastes when I get around to brewing it again. Beer Baron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been looking around for my local report but got nothing to that detail. Cheers Captain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristinaS1 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Hopefully that solves your problems. If you do get into adding minerals, be very careful with epsom salts. A little magnesium goes a long way. If you need sulphate, gypsum is safer. Cheers, Christina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
