I have had an analysis of my tap water it is as below
ph =7.44 @20 degrees c
Ca 75
Mg 8
Na not given
Fe 0.1
NH4 <0.1
NO2 <0.1
CL 18
NO3 5
SO4 9
21.9 french harness which I believe is 219 ppm caco3
water calculators have boxes for Na and carbonate CO3 which I dont have but when I input my 219 ppm hardness figure it inserts a CO3 figure automatically so I assume this is ok
not having a figure for sodium Na is this going to screw up the calculations
any ideas please
I am getting a bitterness appear after the boil stage of my brew ,tasting wort after mash it is sweet ,after boil very bitter which subsides with time i assume this is from hops and maybe due to sulphate chloride ratio
I have been using crs and dls having tested using salfert kit getting 198 ppm (I now realise this was a bit low)
anty comment from more experienced brewers please
Thanks in advance Paul
