Trenton NS Water Report

Post by Dragonman » Fri Sep 05, 2014 9:33 am

Hi Guys,
I am new to this whole water report thing and was wondering if someone could take a look at the one I have attached for my area and tell me if it indicates any styles that I should stay away from or ones that are better suited for my areas water or any problems with the water in general. I will be extract brewing only, no all grain. Thanks.

If your water tastes good and you are not doing all grain don't worry about it. Water Chemistry is something to be more concerned about when doing the mash for starch conversion.

According to Palmer, you should almost use RO/distilled water for extract brewing. I think he said that any way. All the mash chemistry was done in the factory and the salts are dried in with the sugars.
