Bloody Hell!
Were in the process of finishing off the construction of a house in Royalla and moving in, and weve just got the results of the tank water quality tests. Here they are:
Ca+2 = 0.4 mg/L
Mg +2 = not detected (<0.1 gm/L)
HCO3-1 < 2 mg/L
Cl-1 <1 mg /L
Na+1 = 0.4 mg/L
SO4-2 = not detected (<2 mg/L)
Holy sh1t thats soft!
Makes Plzen water look hard:
PLZEN
Ca+2 = 10 mg/L
Mg +2 = 3 mg/L
HCO3-1 = 3 mg/L
Cl-1 = 4.3 mg/L
Na+1 = 4 mg/L
SO4-2 = not detected (<2 mg/L)
For a comparison, dublin water used to make Guinness:
Dublin
Ca+2 = 119 mg/L
Mg +2 = 4 mg/L
HCO3-1 = 319 mg/L
Cl-1 = 19 mg/L
Na+1 = 12 mg/L
SO4-2 = 53 mg/L
I rang the lab to talk about these results, and they tester guy said our water was pretty much the same as distilled water.
So perhaps I could do the lightest of beers with this stuff, but could I pull off a stout? I assume that there are a few tankies among the AHBers that have been using this water what do you do?
