I have a simple analysis using an aquarium test kit from 3 weeks ago and found it to be the same as Chaska tap water but I would really like to see a more detailed analysis of the mineral content. 

pH - 8.0

GH (General Hardness) - 340mg/L

KH (Calcium Hardness) - 260 mg/L

That's pretty hard. I have cut it with RO water for brewing and had good results. It is probably too hard and carbonate straight to use for anything other than stouts and porters.

Has anyone ever used the water from the Frederick Miller spring?  It is an artesian well in Eden Prairie.  I saw it on Kare11 last night.  I am just wondering to know the quality of the water for brewing at home.  My water at home is so hard, I always need to add distilled to soften it up

Thanks
