I'm going to be opening a 10 barrel microbrewery. The municipal water supply is from 4 production wells operating in the same well field, at a depth of approx. 210 feet.
I spoke to the Dept of Public Works which is in charge of the water supply and received a DEQ report which contained the following results:
Chloride 224 mg/l
Hardness as CaCO3 286 mg/l
Sodium 78 mg/l
Sulfate 45 mg/l
The report didn't contain the results for calcium, magnesium, or pH. The man I spoke to said that iron is removed from the water supply by using (binding?) it with arsenic.
What would I need in order to be able to brew 10 barrel batches of a variety of ales with this water? I figure on brewing 2 - 3 times per week maximum.
