Well, I just got off the phone with a really helpful person at the city’s water department who has given me the data on the tap water that I needed to configure BeerAlchemy. It really explains why my dark beers turn out so well and I’m having trouble with my light ones. Here’s the breakdown, in case any other local brewers need the info:
Component | Concentration (mg/l) |
total hardness | 120 |
magnesium | 25 |
calcium | 105 |
bicarbonate | 105 |
sodium | 75 |
chloride | 25 |
sulfate | 50 |
alkalinity | 105 |
