Can one of you chemistry gurus give me a hand here?
I'm using tank water for my brewing and I've done a really simple colour strip test on it. The results are as follows:
Total hardness as CaC03 (ppm) - approx 250
Total and free chlorine - bugger all
pH - approx 6.8
Total Alkalinity (ppm) - approx 80
I'm looking for some direction to translate these results into a water profile which I can use as a baseline in Beersmith.
I understand that this is a poor excuse for a proper water analysis, but can I use these results get a good guess as to levels of calcium, bicarbonates etc?
