Coffs Harbour water

Anybody in the Coffs Harbour area of NSW?

Anyone done a water analysis?

The City Council publishes one, but it doesn't include the info that we brewers need.

Here's one I got mid last year by emailing the Coffs water lab
I doubt it's changed much since then

Also, head over to the CRABs subforum and say hi

I'll be putting up a new thread about our next meeting some time over the weekend

That's great!

Many thanks Sp0rk. I'll check out CRABs as well.
