Doesn't look right to me either. I am in Melbourne and got my water profile from City West Water (my provider) and my Cl is 18ppm. Yours would likely be very similar. My sulphate is 9.9ppm, which is way different to your 1.5ppm. In any case the ions in Melbourne water are so low as not to be material. I would probably boost your Ca to 70-90ppm. I use 50ppm Ca for my pilsners but otherwise target 70-90ppm.mikk said:Yeah, ditch the baking soda & chalk & see where you end up regarding mash pH.
Also, is that chloride figure for Melbourne water correct?
Just for clarification the reference to Cl relates to the chloride ion (Cl-) not the gas (Cl2)Glot said:Chlorine levels will vary day to day anywhere.
London water is very clean. It has been filtered by 10 sets of kidneys before you drink it.
Just email your water provider and they will email you a full water report for your location.
