Re: [mba] [JAB@thebarn.com message] Water

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.

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 Erik Nelson _______________________________________________ JAB mailing list JAB(a)mail.thebarn.com http://thebarn.com/mailman/listinfo/jab _______________________________________________ JAB mailing list JAB(a)mail.thebarn.com http://thebarn.com/mailman/listinfo/jab
