My city water seems to be extremely hard and I’ve never used it for Brewing so I usually buy arrowhead Springwater to brew with. But With all of the coronavirus problems, I won’t be able to get the spring water for my grocery store. A while back I sent my water into ward labs and below is the report. This is the water out of the tap after it goes through my water softener first.
I was wondering if anyone who knows anything about water chemistry could let me know if this is water that I can brew with. Planning on making a Munich Dunkel lager and have all of the stuff for this weekend.
Thanks
