It seems like I've always had a weird off flavor in my beer. Sometimes it's very noticeable, sometimes not so much. It always comes out strongest in the burp. I've been doing some reading on here of others with similar problems and many blamed the water. I'm attaching my profile. I run it through a whole house charcoal filter attached to a garden hose when I brew. I'm just curious if this profile could produce off flavors.
Calcium (Ca+2) ppm = Tap 68 mg/L typical range 50 - 80
Magnesium (Mg+2) ppm = Tap 55 mg/L typical range 50 - 90
Bicarbonate (HCO3 -1) ppm We do not monitor Bicarbonate; Non-Carbonate hardness is 90 mg/L
Sulfate (SO4 -2) ppm = Tap 34 mg/L
Sodium (Na +1) ppm = Tap 18 mg/L
Chloride (Cl -1) ppm = Tap 31 mg/L
Alkalinity as CaCO3 = Tap 33 mg/L
Hardness as CaCO3 = Tap Total 123 mg/L typical range 100 - 170
PH = 9.30 units typical range 9.00 9.50
