Hey All,
First time poster here. I have been home brewing for a few years now but still consider myself as a nube to the hobby. Overall I have been happy with most of my beers but want to capitalize on the overall quality of them. My next goal is to improve and understand water quality for my brewing. I live on a farm with well water. The water has high hardness and alkalinity levels. I do have a softener but was told to bypass the softener for my brewing water. Is that correct?
Below are my Water Statistics (Bypassing the Softener)
Hardness: 250 ppm
Chlorine: 0 ppm
Alkalinity: 200 ppm
PH: 8 - 9
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 0
Iron: 0
Copper: 0
No Hydrogen Sulfide
Lead/Pestacide: Negative
I mostly do 5 galon batches of All Grain brewing recipes. So pleasehelp me understand and what I can do to better my water quality for my brews.
Cheers Yall!
