So I just started looking into water profiles and the water I am using to brew with.
In addition to the chart below I emailed them for a full report and the ph is 5.2 and magnesium is 1. There is a whole bunch more info on the full report but I am not really sure whats relevant yet.
These numbers below seem very low unless I am reading this wrong. If I just try to raise the calcium to start with will that improve my brewing? I see everywhere says you should be over 50 min.
