.....and some have problems coping with $1.00 additional costs for a 23L batch.

Well that's just ridiculous. Isn't it true that having an appropriate water profile could improve efficiency, and therefore end up saving money?

I would think that overall savings in efficiency would add up to maybe (maybe) a cent or two.

Manticle, we worked off a bunch of east coast water profiles and averaged them. The actual number of guys using RO water in the general brewing population is pretty small by %. The additions in the recipe packs are based on a broad sword approach, but work pretty well based on feedback. The locals packs are based on our water supply based on a series of reports that were averaged out quarterly over about 4 years

Most of the brewers we deal with regularly are aware of locally hard water and we can tailor the additions or they do it themselves.

There's no simple solution aside from knowing your local water or RO and doing appropriate additions (or none at all if that suits the style).

Cool, cheers. Missed local in the first post.
