A water district that cares about home brewing

[Sailingeric]

I was looking up my local water quality report today to see what was in it before it gets filtered for my fish tank and they have a section dedicated to home brewing and gave a report on the minerals that can influence all grain brewing.

That's actually pretty cool.
And I'm not surprised an Oregon water district is out in front on such matters. Y'all have a reputation

Cheers!

Wow that's unexpected and cool.

I think that's pretty cool but could the numbers be different from your house and where the water is held ?

Pretty nicely done water report.
In my area something like that (beer water) would never be a consideration. Local water testing in our NJ schools found multiple lead problems. The jackass authorities who released the results wouldn't give specifics, but from what I know, the reasons for the contamination wasn't the pH level but cheap BRASS FITTINGS in the plumbing system.
I was amazed.
They spent THOUSANDS putting a field of solar panels on school property to make things "green" but can't justify why the water is effed up. We have two high schools. The oldest was finished in 1965 and the second larger school is less than a decade old.
