Harrogate water profiles

[The-Engineer-That-Brews]

Just had a few days staying in beautiful Harrogate. Of course in Victorian times the town was famous for its 'water cure' having some of the most sulferous water in the UK. So when I saw this plaque in the municipal gardens showing the analysis of the minerals of the different springs I thought I'd share it ;-)

Anyone know how to convert 'grains per gallon' to PPM ??

1 grains per Imperial gallon =
0.0142537616 kg / m3

Multiply by 14.3 if it's grains per imperial gallon, as it will be here.

Ron's published lots of old analyses for brewing water if you want to compare :

That’s pretty similar to the water that Websters used at Fountain ahead Brewery

Which of the Harrogate wells there, Andrew?

Fountains head Brewery was in Halifax I just remarked the water chemistry in Harrogate is quite similar to the well water that supplied Websters Brewery.

Understood - but I posted the chemistry for four different wells in Harrogate, so I was wondering which one you were referring to :-)
