I found some conflicting information on the exact mineral profile of distilled water. I typically use the BF water chemistry calculator, which has the following metrics:
Calcium
Magnesium
Sodium
Chloride
Sulfate
Bicarbonate
PH
If I used distilled water to brew, I've been using 0 for all fields except 97ppm bicarbonate and a PH of 8. I've seen other sites quote the distilled water bicarbonate figure much lower. What is the correct number and how much of an impact on the taste of the beer could this have?
Second- if anyone wants to throw me a lifeline- what is a basic addition recipe for a light beer using distilled water?
